Whitney Ijem has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Verve Therapeutics’ promising developments. The upcoming data announcement for VERVE-102, expected in the second quarter of 2025, plays a critical role, as the early safety results have been encouraging, with no serious adverse events reported. The company aims to replicate a high level of LDL-C reduction similar to previous successful trials, which, if achieved, would underline the drug’s potential efficacy.
Additional supportive elements include Verve’s strategic partnership with Eli Lilly (LLY), which could lead to a profit-sharing arrangement, enhancing financial stability. Moreover, Verve’s financial position is robust, with substantial cash reserves expected to support operations into mid-2027. These factors, coupled with the advancements in their other programs, such as VERVE-201, contribute to a positive outlook for the company’s future growth and success in the genetic medicine space.
In another report released on February 7, BMO Capital also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $30.00 price target.
