Tazeen Ahmad’s rating is based on the strategic acquisition of CureVac by BioNTech, which is expected to enhance BioNTech’s capabilities in developing mRNA-based therapies for oncology and infectious diseases. This acquisition is seen as a significant move to strengthen BioNTech’s mRNA cancer immunotherapy platform, aligning with their broader oncology strategy. The synergies between CureVac’s platform and BioNTech’s existing pipeline are anticipated to bolster the development of BioNTech’s mRNA franchise.
Furthermore, Tazeen Ahmad highlights the importance of BioNTech’s ongoing projects, such as the BNT327, which remains a key value driver. The collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY) is expected to unlock the full potential of this asset. The company’s focus on accelerating pipeline development while maintaining a strong balance sheet is viewed positively, supporting the Buy rating with a price objective of $127.
