Kostas Biliouris has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight the promising potential of Crispr Therapeutics AG. The company’s recent partnership with Sirius to co-develop and co-commercialize SRSD107, a long-acting siRNA targeting FXI, is a significant move. This collaboration is seen as promising because SRSD107 addresses a large market opportunity in the FXI space, which is attractive to pharmaceutical companies. The siRNA modality offers advantages such as infrequent dosing and strong target engagement, which could overcome limitations of existing treatments.
Moreover, the partnership with Sirius diversifies Crispr Therapeutics’ pipeline and increases the probability of success for its gene editing initiatives. SRSD107’s potential to target large indications, starting with smaller ones like VTE prevention, without a significant increase in operating expenses, adds to its appeal. The company’s diversified pipeline, including upcoming launches and second-generation products, further supports the Buy rating, as these elements provide significant optionality and potential for future growth.
