Morningstar | Extreme Variability in Possible Investment Outcomes for Mesoblast and a Lower FVE

Mesoblast is a binary outcome investment case and hinges on their decades of stem cell therapy research and development, or R&D, ultimately getting FDA approval. With phase three clinical trials ongoing for most of their Tier 1 product candidates and launch timelines consistently moving out, the window remains open for competitor therapies to reach the market first. Paired with funding challenges that have seen the company suspend much of the R&D on their tier two portfolio, and no clear commercialisation strategy, Mesoblast is a risky place to invest despite the shares screening as fairly valued.
Underlying
Mesoblast Ltd.

Mesoblast is engaged in the development of regenerative medicine products. Co. has leveraged its proprietary technology platform, based on specialized cells known as mesenchymal lineage adult stem cells ("MLCs"), to establish a portfolio of late-stage product candidates. Co.'s allogeneic, "off the shelf" product candidates target advanced stages of diseases with high, unmet medical needs including cardiovascular conditions, orthopedic disorders, immunologic and inflammatory disorders and oncology and hematologic conditions. Each MLC-derived product candidate has technical characteristics, target indications, reimbursement strategy, commercialization potential, and partnering opportunities.
