Whitney Ijem has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors related to Wave Life Sciences’ ongoing clinical trials and potential market impact. The company is set to release updated Phase 1/2 data for its WVE-006 program, which has shown promising initial results in increasing M-AAT and total AAT levels. This data is expected to further demonstrate the drug’s efficacy, particularly with the multidose approach, which could lead to significant upside for the stock.
Additionally, the anticipated data from the WVE-007 obesity program later in the year provides further potential for growth. The downside risk appears limited, with additional data releases expected to provide a buffer. Overall, the risk/reward profile is favorable, with the potential for substantial stock appreciation on positive news.
In another report released on August 4, Mizuho Securities also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $22.00 price target.
