Andrew Fein’s rating is based on several compelling factors. The recent data for WVE-006 indicates significant improvements in functional M-AAT levels and reductions in harmful Z-AAT levels, which are sustained beyond the dosing period. This suggests a promising disease-modifying potential for AATD treatment, setting WVE-006 apart from standard treatments. Despite a recent drop in Wave’s stock value, Fein believes this is an overreaction, as the current data supports an approval endpoint even without the 400 mg MAD data.
Furthermore, the partnership with GSK and the potential of the inhibin program are seen as major factors that could drive the stock’s value. The data also validates Wave’s RNA editing platform, highlighting its potential as a best-in-class approach with less frequent dosing requirements. Fein emphasizes that the regulatory landscape favors Wave’s approach, as the FDA has historically approved treatments based on biochemical efficacy and safety, which WVE-006 demonstrates. This combination of clinical data and strategic partnerships underpins Fein’s Buy rating for Wave Life Sciences.
Fein covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Biogen, Wave Life Sciences, and Amylyx Pharmaceuticals Inc. According to TipRanks, Fein has an average return of 15.2% and a 51.12% success rate on recommended stocks.
