H.C. Wainwright upgrades Prime Medicine stock rating to buy
H.C. Wainwright has upgraded Prime Medicine (NASDAQ:PRME) from Neutral to Buy, setting an $8.00 price target after New Zealand approved the Clinical Trial Application for PM577a, an investigational therapy for Wilson’s Disease. This clearance marks the first clinical authorization for an in vivo Prime Editing therapy from the company, enabling a global Phase 1/2 study to commence in the second half of 2026. Despite the stock being potentially overvalued according to InvestingPro data, and the company burning cash quickly, its strong current ratio offers liquidity, with H.C. Wainwright viewing the clinical clearance as a significant de-risking event.
