Buy Rating for Adaptive Biotechnologies: Strong Market Position and Strategic Growth InitiativesWe see Adaptive as the clear market leader with a lengthy head start versus competition. Adaptive’s clonoSEQ test can be used for MRD testing in patients with different blood-cancers like multiple myeloma (MM), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), DLBCL, and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Beyond more indications, it is also expanding its moat: increasing reimbursement, becoming more integrated into EMRs, expanding its datasets to support use (including over 90 abstracts at ASH this year), and becoming a leading partner for pharma with clonoSEQ being used as a primary or secondary endpoint in roughly 90 clinical trials. So, a meaningful head start certainly exists and should prove durable, in our view.Still, we understand why shares are down on this news.
