Mani Foroohar has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors related to Caribou Biosciences’ strategic pipeline restructuring and financial management. The company has decided to discontinue certain studies and reduce its workforce by 32%, which is expected to extend its cash runway from the second half of 2026 to the second half of 2027. This strategic move allows Caribou Biosciences to concentrate its resources on the development of its promising oncology programs, specifically CB-010 for second-line large B-cell lymphoma and CB-011 for multiple myeloma.
Despite the delay in key readouts for these programs, which are now anticipated in the second half of 2025, the focus on these high-potential areas aligns with the company’s long-term growth strategy. The decision to streamline operations and prioritize these programs is seen as a positive step towards achieving regulatory milestones and enhancing shareholder value. Therefore, despite the reduction in the price target from $10 to $3, the Buy rating reflects confidence in the company’s strategic direction and potential for future success.
According to TipRanks, Foroohar is an analyst with an average return of -14.9% and a 35.86% success rate. Foroohar covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Alnylam Pharma, Benitec Biopharma, and RegenXBio.
