Andrew Fein has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, including the strategic collaboration between Stoke Therapeutics and Biogen. This partnership significantly reduces the risk associated with the development of zorevunersen, a promising drug with potential disease-modifying effects for rare neurological disorders. Fein highlights the upfront payment and potential milestone royalties that Stoke will receive, as well as the shared clinical development costs with Biogen, which validates the scientific approach and alleviates commercial pressures on Stoke.
Furthermore, Fein points to the compelling clinical data from early trials, showing a significant reduction in seizure frequency and improvements in adaptive behaviors over time, which reinforces confidence in the drug’s efficacy. The alignment with global regulatory authorities on the EMPEROR trial design further strengthens the prospects for zorevunersen, with agreed endpoints that address critical unmet needs in neurology. These factors, combined with the potential for a successful Phase 3 trial, justify Fein’s increased price target and Buy rating for Stoke Therapeutics.
