Andrew Fein has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Prothena’s innovative CYTOPE platform. The platform’s recent preclinical data on TDP-43 demonstrates its ability to deliver macromolecules intracellularly, which is a significant advancement in treating conditions like ALS and FTD. This capability not only addresses previously challenging intracellular targets but also positions CYTOPE as a versatile technology with potential applications across various neurodegenerative diseases.
Furthermore, the strategic positioning of CYTOPE as a platform technology rather than a standalone program suggests potential for lucrative collaborations, enhancing its value proposition. The technology’s ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and effectively engage pathology in ALS models underscores its therapeutic promise. Collectively, these factors contribute to a promising outlook for Prothena, justifying the Buy rating.
In another report released today, Piper Sandler also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $36.00 price target.
