Intellia Therapeutics stock price target lowered to $45 by Wells Fargo

Investing.com - Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) has lowered its price target on Intellia Therapeutics (NASDAQ:NTLA) to $45.00 from $50.00 while maintaining an Overweight rating on the stock. Currently trading at $11.46, the stock sits well below analyst targets ranging from $7 to $106, with InvestingPro data showing strong analyst consensus recommendations despite recent price volatility.

The firm updated its outlook following Intellia’s announcement regarding its development timeline for nex-z, its treatment for ATTR-PN. The company expects to complete enrollment in the MAGNITUDE-2 study in the first half of 2026, which would enable a Biologics License Application (BLA) filing in or before 2028. According to InvestingPro analysis, while the company maintains a strong balance sheet with more cash than debt and a healthy current ratio of 4.9x, it’s currently experiencing rapid cash burn - a critical factor for investors monitoring development timelines.

Intellia also plans to present longer-term data from its Phase 1 study at the 5th International ATTR Amyloidosis Meeting for Patients and Doctors on September 25-26, 2025, in Baveno, Italy. The company previously reported updated data showing durable serum TTR reductions through at least 24 months.

For its HAE treatment lonvo-z (NTLA-2002), Intellia has ended recruitment for the HAELO study just four months after initiation. The company remains on track to complete enrollment by the third quarter of 2025 and submit a BLA in the second half of 2026.

Wells Fargo noted that Intellia screened 41 patients in April for the 60-patient study, with many participants switching from leading therapies including lanadelumab, which the firm interprets as demonstrating high demand for lonvo-z.
