BMO Capital analyst Jim Birchenough reiterated an Outperform rating and $15 price target on Fate Therapeutics (NASDAQ: FATE) following meetings with management.

Birchenough commented, "We maintain our view that FATE has an attractive and undervalued platform addressing both near-term and long-term opportunities. Use of PROHEMA to improve stem cell function may have a profound impact on post-transplant infection control and non-disease related mortality in oncology and morbidity secondary to inherited metabolic disorders with specific focus on neurological outcome. PROTMUNE extends the concept to CD34+ve cells where additional properties such as PD-L1, ICOS or CXCR4 expression can be toggled to change the immune profile of stem cells as desired. Ultimately, however, the ability to use a designer off-the-shelf iPSC as a platform for final product modification and then differentiation into the desired cell type offers the possibility for broad application of cellular therapy that cannot be achieved with current autologous approaches."
