On Monday, Oppenheimer reiterated its Outperform rating on Dyne Therapeutics (NASDAQ:DYN) shares, currently trading at $23.76, with a consistent price target of $55.00. The $2.42 billion market cap company has seen its shares surge 78.35% year-to-date.
According to InvestingPro data, analysts maintain a Strong Buy consensus with price targets ranging from $34 to $66. The firm's analysts highlighted the forthcoming data readout from the company's DM1 Phase 1/2 ACHIEVE trial, expected in early January 2025. The upcoming release will include six-month data for the 6.8mg/kg cohort and twelve-month data for the 5.4mg/kg and lower cohorts.
The analysts pointed out that the 5.4mg/kg cohort already showed a 27% mean splicing correction at three months, exceeding the anticipated 20-25% threshold. They noted that maintaining splicing correction levels above 20% would be considered a positive outcome, even without further improvements. Additionally, the connection between splicing correction and functional outcomes will be an area of focus.
Considering the encouraging results from lower doses, Oppenheimer views the January data as reducing the risk associated with the investment. The analysts also reminded investors of Dyne Therapeutics' Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) program and its pipeline of non-valued assets, which includes therapies for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) and Pompe disease.
