Cellectis SA (CLLS) Receives a Buy from Oppenheimer


Oppenheimer analyst Hartaj Singh maintained a Buy rating on Cellectis SA (CLLS) today and set a price target of $44. The company’s shares opened today at $19.58.

Singh said:

“Cellectis (CLLS) announced on 4/2 that its allogeneic program targeting CS1 (SLAMF7) for multiple myeloma (MM) had entered the clinic. This continues CLLS’s accelerating pace of clinical development with UCART123 entering the clinic in 3Q17 and UCART22 in 2Q18. We believe that such momentum of preclinical projects moving into the clinic validates CLLS’s learnings on its gene editing and manufacturing platform, with CLLS also recently committing to scaling its clinical/ commercial manufacturing footprint. We also like the CS1 target in MM, since this target has been validated with the approval of antibody elotuzumab for multiple myeloma, while the BCMA approach for MM is cluttered with some notable early- study terminations. We stay bullish on the name.”

According to TipRanks.com, Singh is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 3.8% and a 47.3% success rate. Singh covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as SELLAS Life Sciences Group Inc, Strongbridge Biopharma Plc, and Catabasis Pharmaceuticals.
