$VRTX is drawing a cup-and-handle chart. It is a bullish chart. The share price will go up soon. I personally would not sell below 300. When CTX-001, VX-147, and VX-548 are marketed some years from now, the share price could more than double from current prices.
An unusually thorough SA article on $VRTX came out this morning. I recommend everyone to read all of it. The writer's quote of analyst's estimate of CTX001 value (peak sale of 1.2B) is too conservative. I would go farther by saying that the sp would double in several years.
Going to bring the new Board Member to the focus. Personally, what is the value to the comapny. As an investor we have no say, we really don't. But we can try to understand if there's a value for anything that is done that affects or effects our investments.
So for Margaret G. McGlynn, R. Ph.

GAVI Geneva, 7 August 2020 – A new landmark collaboration between SII, the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer by volume, Gavi and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will accelerate the manufacture and delivery of up to 100 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) as part of the Gavi COVAX AMC, a mechanism within the COVAX Facility.

Current public assets $FOLD 27,919 shares = $615,893 $VRTX 877 shares = $196,448 $NVAX 7700 = $885,500
My personal opinion, The most recent expereince is down the Low/Middle low income countries through GAVI and the Non-Profits she has either started or been part of. Non-profits I hope is where we aren;t going to be concentrating the NVAX efforts. I"ve done a few jobs for non-profits. Very tough budget minded people. Her last Merck experience was 2009, 11 years ago That's a far stretch for reaching back for an M&A attempt by Merk. For the last 4 years, 2005-2009 she was the President global vaccines and infectious disease.
I hope we see the real value her. A real M&A expert, or gov't FDA expert of getting FDA approvals to help the company get past this and to get the nanoFlu and RSV through the processes.
Barron's has been bullish on $VRTX. We may reach 262 by late January. [[ ... Analysts think all four of the stocks have room to grow. Their favorite, by one measure, is Vertex, which has an average analyst target price of $262.14, implying a 37.3% gain over the stock’s recent price of $190.97. Of the 27 analysts tracked by FactSet who cover Vertex, 21 assign it a positive rating.]] https://www.barrons.com/articles/4-healthcare-stocks-that-analysts-love-51629387992?mod=hp_LEADSUPP_2
How serious is potential competitive threat from Abbv's CF drugs? A very pessimistic view to this question was the basis for Matt Harrison's (of MS) downgrade of $VRTX about a month ago. Since then, CEO refuted Matt's view very well in the conf. call of MS on Sept. 15. She said that Trikafta alone already set a high bar in both safety and efficacy for any potential competitor. No oral drug can surpass the sweat chloride level of CFTR carriers, but Trikafta already achieved the carrier level of sweat chloride. Furthermore, for the long term Trikafta achieved a milestone no other drugs could: two year data showed that there was no decline in the lung function. Trikafta is not just slowing the decline, but stopping the decline. For safety Vertex already has ten thousand patients' safety data. As if that is not enough, Vertex is going to run the ph.3 trial for VX-121/Tez/VX-561 combo soon. This new combo achieved the lung function level 15.9% over the duo, Tez/Kalydeco (this must be their control) in the Ph.2 trial. This is not the end of story because the San Diego Lab discovered more potent potentiator and corrector than those in the above triple combos, and it will go to clinic soon. It will take a many many years' safety and efficacy data for healthcare providers to switch to a potential competitor's drug.

We have certainly talked about this a lot but I continue to side eye $VRTX as to their approach on not only an approvable end point but how they propose to get there. Below is a comment from Reshma Kewalramani on the last CC
"'Ive said a number of times previously, the companies that make augmentation therapy. About 5 of them have gotten their approvals in the U.S. based on levels of AAT. And so we need to go through that. Separately, we are very interested in, and I'm sure others might be interested in understanding the impact of our small molecule correctors on lung function measured by imaging or something like a pulmonary function test, and those are all considerations that we continue to talk and think about. But the framework for our package really is functional AAT levels, antigenic AAT levels and the clearance of the polymers from the liver".
1) As mentioned augmentation therapy already exists. 2) If they were going to attempt to go the augmentation approval endpoint route, FDA would need to see clear benefit of the corrector over that SOC. Personal opinion, I don't see it showing substantiating improvement....why? the corrector by design has to perform multiple biologic complexity's just to turn the protein into what Augmentation therapy already is, a functional protein. Then is it safely correcting enough to be clinically significant. Sure augmentation therapy does nothing for the liver disease, but RNAi does with superb result at this point in time. I am by no means out to trash VRTX here just pointing out it appears their approach to this target is not only not competitive but I am viewing it as a lack of resources and a character flaw to their organization for continuing down this rabbit hole....for what?
Excited about the Suntrust upgrade. The analyst is a medical doctor. The Car - T program, as she noted, has not been priced into the stock. Her $140 target is low. Crsp, per Ceo, uses healthy donor cells, then does the edits to those cells using Crispr/ Cas9. The cancer treatments are then available “off the shelf” to be delivered to patients. This is critical for those with illness who need instant treatment. $CRSP wholly owns the Car-t program. $VRTX is partnered on most of the other developmental programs, including DMD. At any rate, the analyst from Suntrust is giving a price target, that when hit will be raised. I think the other analysts will be raising price targets soon too.

In January 2021, Editas’ IND was accepted by the FDA. NOVEMBER 2021 Editas earnings update included the following:
“EDIT-301 for Sickle Cell Disease Enrolling patients for initial dosing … The Phase 1/2 RUBY trial for the treatment of sickle cell disease is currently enrolling study participants and expects to begin dosing in the first half of 2022”
$BEAM IND is nice but realistically looking at 2023 -2024 for a first data cut from $Beam or $Edit.
Crsp partnership with $Vrtx looks more and more and more brilliant every day.
