Gracell Biotechnologies initiated at buy at Citi citing its autologous CAR-T platform

Citi has initiated Gracell Biotechnologies (NASDAQ:GRCL) with a buy rating highlighting the speed of the company's autologous CAR-T platform manufacturing compared to competitors. The firm has a $12 price target (~422% upside based on Wednesday's close). Analyst Yigal Nochomovitz said that FasTCAR, the CAR-T platform, can manufacture in 22-36 hours compared to the industry average of one to six weeks. He added this will cut the "autologous CAR-T vein-to-vein time from the industry average ~20-35 days to ~11-14 days." The company's lead candidate is GC012F, a dual BCMA/CD19 FasTCAR candidate for multiple myeloma, currently in phase 1. Nochomovitz noted that data on the asset presented earlier this year found it "shaping up to be highly competitive with Legend Biotech's (LEGN) and Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ) Carvykti (ciltacabtagene autoleucel)" in terms of objective response rate and complete response. He added he sees IND filings for GC012F in the US and China by the end of the year. Seeking Alpha's Quant Rating views Gracell (GRCL) as a hold with high marks for revisions and valuation.
