Mani Foroohar’s rating is based on the promising data from Beam Therapeutics’ BEAM-101 program for sickle-cell disease. The recent update presented at the European Hematology Association showed consistent results with no vaso-occlusive crises post-engraftment and significant improvements in hemoglobin levels among patients. This consistency in clinical outcomes, along with the completion of patient enrollment and the anticipation of further data by year-end, supports a positive outlook for the program.
Additionally, the potential of Beam’s ESCAPE program, which focuses on non-genotoxic conditioning, and the BEAM-302 program for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency are seen as key factors that could drive broader adoption and success in the market. These elements collectively contribute to the bullish perspective on Beam Therapeutics’ stock, as they represent significant advancements in treatment options and potential market opportunities.
In another report released yesterday, Wedbush also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $57.00 price target.
