Cellectis SA: Hold Rating Amid Stable Financials and Promising Collaborations, Yet Cautious Outlook Due to Market and Clinical Uncertainties

In a report released yesterday, Yanan Zhu from Wells Fargo maintained a Hold rating on Cellectis SA (CLLS – Research Report), with a price target of $3.00.

Yanan Zhu has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Cellectis SA’s recent performance and future prospects. The company’s first-quarter results showed a net loss per share that was slightly below market expectations, which may have contributed to a cautious outlook. Despite this, the company’s cash reserves are projected to sustain operations into the second half of 2027, indicating a stable financial position in the near term.
Additionally, Cellectis is making progress in its clinical trials, with key data readouts expected in the upcoming quarters. The ongoing collaboration with AstraZeneca also provides potential for future growth, as it involves the development of innovative therapies. However, the current uncertainties in clinical outcomes and market conditions may have led to a more conservative Hold rating, suggesting that while there is potential, investors should remain cautious and monitor upcoming developments closely.
