Whitney Ijem has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors related to Wave Life Sciences’ recent developments and strategic positioning in the competitive landscape of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) treatment. The company recently shared updated data from their ongoing Phase 1/2 RestorAATion-2 Trial of WVE-006, which has shown promising results.
