Oklo stock tumbles as Financial Times scrutinizes valuation
On Monday, Piper Sandler expressed continued confidence in Dyne Therapeutics (NASDAQ:DYN), maintaining an Overweight stock rating and a price target of $48.00. Currently trading at $12.05, the stock has significant upside potential according to analyst consensus, with targets ranging from $18 to $66. InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently undervalued. The firm’s analysts highlighted the promising progress of the company’s lead drug candidate, DYNE-251, for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), following encouraging data presented at the Muscular Dystrophy Association conference.
The updated Phase I/II DELIVER trial data demonstrated that DYNE-251, administered at a dosage of 20mg/kg every four weeks, provided sustained benefits in multiple functional endpoints over an 18-month period. The registrational DELIVER cohort, which has fully enrolled 32 boys with DMD51, is anticipated to deliver six-month dystrophin expression data by the end of 2025, with the potential for accelerated approval in the second half of 2026.
In addition to the advances with DYNE-251, Dyne Therapeutics has also reported positive findings from its Phase I/II ACHIEVE trial of DYNE-101 for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). The data showed that a 6.8mg/kg dose every eight weeks was safe and led to improvements in CASI splicing correction at three months, as well as enhancements in myotonia, muscle function, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) at six months. The company is currently enrolling up to 48 DM1 patients in the registrational ACHIEVE cohort, with data expected in early 2026 that could support an accelerated approval by the end of 2026.
Piper Sandler’s analysts are optimistic about Dyne’s potential to launch two best-in-class, blockbuster medicines by 2027. With a market capitalization of $1.36 billion and a strong current ratio of 15.6, the company maintains a solid balance sheet despite ongoing R&D investments. They also noted that Dyne’s pro forma cash, estimated at approximately $783 million, is expected to fund operations into the second half of 2026. This financial position is bolstered by the company’s at-the-market (ATM) offering, which allows for the sale of shares over time.
