Thomas Shrader has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including promising upcoming readouts and advancements in Arcturus Therapeutics’ mRNA technology. The company’s mRNA-mediated protein replacement therapies are expected to show significant progress in the coming weeks, with preclinical data suggesting effective delivery to target organs, which reduces risk. Additionally, Arcturus has developed novel assays that could improve the clarity of results for OTC deficiency, potentially allowing for better differentiation between patient conditions.
Moreover, the company’s approach to COVID vaccine development, which focuses on safety through lower levels of RNA and lipid adjuvants, positions it as a strong candidate in the field. The anticipated readouts for cystic fibrosis treatments also show promise, with safety data supporting potential advancements. These factors, combined with a valuation based on a discounted cash flow model, support Shrader’s positive outlook on Arcturus Therapeutics.
