J.P. Morgan analyst Cory Kasimov maintained a Hold rating on Allogene Therapeutics Inc (ALLO) on March 8 and set a price target of $29. The company’s shares closed on Friday at $28.38.
Kasimov noted:
“Allogenes’s first earnings call as a public company was fairly uneventful. The company announced detailed information on the Phase 1 trial design for ALLO 501 that was more or less in line with our expectations. Bigger picture, we believe that ALLO is well positioned in the allogeneic CAR T space and that these approaches may be the next chapter in the evolution of CAR T therapies, opening up this modality to a wider patient population. That said, after a strong post-IPO run, we remain on the sidelines given the early stage of ALLO’s proprietary programs and few value inflecting catalysts anticipated before 2020.”
