Matthew Caufield has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight LENZ Therapeutics’ promising position in the presbyopia treatment market. The most significant catalyst is the anticipated PDUFA date in August 2025 for LNZ100, a novel aceclidine-based eye drop designed to improve near vision without the use of pilocarpine, which has been associated with safety concerns in previous treatments like VUITY. Caufield emphasizes that LNZ100’s unique mechanism, targeting iris sphincter muscle contraction, offers a durable and well-tolerated solution, potentially overcoming the limitations faced by earlier products.
Furthermore, Caufield notes the competitive landscape, acknowledging other emerging treatments but highlighting LNZ100’s distinct advantages. The company’s strategic commercial preparations, including planned sampling and a ready sales force, are expected to drive initial uptake and patient adoption. These factors, coupled with a robust marketing strategy, position LENZ Therapeutics favorably for the upcoming regulatory milestone, supporting the Buy rating and the $38 price target.
