Swayampakula Ramakanth has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Vor Biopharma’s strategic advancements and potential for growth. The company has recently secured an exclusive license agreement with RemeGen Co., Ltd to develop and commercialize telitacicept, a promising recombinant fusion protein, in regions outside of Greater China. This asset has already shown clinical success and received marketing approvals in China for several conditions, including systemic lupus nephritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and generalized myasthenia gravis.
Furthermore, the financial structure of the agreement, which includes upfront payments and potential milestone payments, strengthens Vor’s financial position. The potential market for telitacicept is substantial, with projected peak sales in the US alone reaching $1.8 billion, assuming successful commercialization. The strategic moves by Vor’s management, combined with the de-risked nature of the asset and its multi-billion-dollar potential, underpin Ramakanth’s optimistic outlook and the Buy rating with a 12-month price target of $3.00.
Ramakanth covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Nanobiotix, Corcept Therapeutics, and Ocugen. According to TipRanks, Ramakanth has an average return of 1.6% and a 38.20% success rate on recommended stocks.
