What are Wall Street analysts saying about bluebird bio stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about bluebird bio stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "bluebird reported wider-than-expected loss in the first quarter, while revenues beat estimates. The company has an impressive pipeline of gene therapies for genetic diseases and cancer. Zynteglo looks promising and a tentative approval in Europe is expected later this year. We are also positive about bluebird’s collaboration with Regeneron, as this provides the former with funds. The company is also developing CAR T therapies in collaboration with Celgene for myeloma. The CAR T market holds potential and the successful development of the candidates will benefit the company in the long run. However, competition is stiffening in this space. The company has no approved product in its portfolio yet and an unfavorable outcome from any of the ongoing studies will be detrimental. Shares have outperformed the industry in the past six months." (5/7/2019)
- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "We rate bluebird bio Neutral. BLUE, a clinical-stage biotechnology company, focuses on developing transformative gene therapies for rare severe genetic diseases. Its product candidates include Lenti-D, which is in a pivotal clinical study for the treatment of cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy; LentiGlobin, which is in Phase 1/2 clinical studies for the treatment of beta thalassemia major and severe sickle cell disease (SCD); and bb2121 and bb21217 CAR-T, candidates in multiple myeloma. Valuation Summary We value bluebird bio based on a risk-adjusted NPV calculation of its clinical pipeline." (12/3/2018)
