#3 - Caribou Biosciences (NASDAQ:CRBU)

Caribou Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ: CRBU) is working on what it describes as the next generation of CRISPR genome-editing technology. The company has created its proprietary chRDNA genome-editing technology that according to Caribou improves upon CRISPR technology by making more precise genome edits.  

CRBU stock is down 70% in 2024, which is typical of a stock with just a $171 million market cap. However, the stock has rallied somewhat after an earnings report in which it beat revenue and earnings expectations. The company also has a cash foundation over $370 million which is expected to keep it funded through the first quarter of 2026.  

Since the report, the Royal Bank of Canada (NYSE: RY) reiterated its Outperform rating on CRBU stock with a $14 price target. That tracks with overall analyst sentiment which has a Moderate Buy rating on the stock with a $15 price target.
