TOMORROW we look at BLUE-- The upside is huge, but beware of the risks Bluebird Bio):Bluebird Bio is a gene-editing specialist currently sporting a market cap of $402 million, putting it squarely in small-cap territory. The biotech has encountered a series of clinical and regulatory setbacks over the past three years, leading to it losing nearly 90% of its value. Yet, there could be some hope for the company. Last year, Bluebird earned approval for two gene-editing therapies, Zynteglo and Skysona, that target transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia (TDT) and active cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy, respectively. But the company's most important approval yet could be on the horizon. In April, Bluebird submitted an application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for lovo-cel, a potential treatment for sickle cell disease (SCD). Why could lovo-cel be a game changer for Bluebird? While Zynteglo and Skysona target a maximum of 1,540 patients in the U.S. between them, lovo-cel is looking at a much larger opportunity with about 20,000 eligible patients in the country. The FDA set a PDUFA action date(by when it should complete the review) of Dec. 20, 2023. Still, as Bluebird's tiny market cap suggests, there remain plenty of risks with the stock. For instance, administering the company's gene-editing therapies is a long and complex process that can only be done in select qualified treatment centers. This factor considerably slows the pace at which Bluebird can treat patients and, by extension, generate money. Further, Bluebird could face some competition in the TDT and SCD markets, with Vertex Pharmaceuticals andCRISPR Therapeutics nearing the approval of exa-cel. Lastly, Bluebird's Zynteglo and Skysona cost $2.8 million and $3 million, respectively. Their price tags could scare off some third-party payers. All these crucial details make Bluebird's stock risky. However, the upside for the stock is enormous if the company can do three things. First, Bluebird must earn approval for lovo-cel without a hitch. Second it needs to continue the (so far) smooth launch of Zynteglo and Skysona. Third, the company must carve out a solid niche for itself in the TDT and SCD markets even with competition from larger biotechs. There are huge potential rewards and huge potential risks with Bluebird. Invest accordingly.
