\u00a9 Reuters. bluebird bio upgraded to Buy at BofA, stock jumps 27%<\/span>
\n<\/i>\n<\/div>\n

bluebird bio Inc (NASDAQ:) shares surged more than 27% intra-day today after BofA Securities upgraded the company to Buy from Neutral and raised its price target to $10.00 from $6.00, noting that the company\u2019s sickle cell disease (SCD) gene therapy product, lovo-cel, is underappreciated.<\/p>\n

The bank expects timely approval from the FDA on the expected December action date. Despite some setbacks along the path to lovo-cel approval, BofA believes that the data for the drug are on par with or even more robust than those of its closest competitor. As a result, they project peak sales to approach $1 billion.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the firm mentioned that the recent acceptance of the biologics license application (BLA) for lovo-cel mitigates further timeline risks.<\/p>\n

With the anticipation of lovo-cel being available on the market for SCD, BofA forecasts that bluebird bio will achieve profitability by 2026, assuming one additional financing event.<\/p>\n

The firm believes that investors understand the revenue opportunity in SCD, as evidenced by valuations of comparable companies. Therefore, they view the launch of lovo-cel as a crucial event that will contribute to bluebird bio’s share price appreciation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
