Whitney Ijem has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors related to the recent data released by Wave Life Sciences. The company announced promising results from their WVE-006 trials, showing a positive dose response with increased M-AAT and total serum AAT levels. This indicates a potential recovery of physiological response to inflammation, which is significant for patients with AATD.
Despite the stock experiencing a temporary decline, Ijem believes this reaction is unwarranted given the strength of the data and the strategic importance of the GSK partnership. The safety profile of the trials remains favorable, with no serious adverse events reported. Additionally, the anticipation of upcoming data from WVE-007 in obesity could serve as a catalyst for future growth, reinforcing the Buy recommendation.
In another report released today, Wells Fargo also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $18.00 price target.
