RGA Investment Advisors made the following comment about Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:REGN) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:REGN) has been a stalwart of our portfolio for several years now. The company is investing mightily in R&D to capitalize on their platform for innovation, moving into oncology, nearly 10% of their market cap in cash and potent cash generation each year fueling this investment. We think the oncology pipeline is valued at either $0 or less by many analysts out there, meanwhile we think it is an emerging platform, leveraging REGN’s dual discovery platforms of the Regeneron Genomics Center (RGC) and the VelociSuite. Recently the company presented initial data on the CD28 target which could be a profound breakthrough in the treatment of hard cancers. Although trial outcomes remain years away, the value of the oncology pipeline is certainly greater than zero. Why else would the recent President and CEO of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center join the board of directors were there not belief behind the pipeline in immunology?[22] It seems like an opportunity to us that Wall Street does not share this enthusiasm. Beyond the company’s core competency in antibodies, REGN has leveraged its RGC and Veloci-Suite into impactful partnerships with CGT industry leaders like Alnylam (ALNY) and Jennifer Doudna’s Intellia (NTLA). These partnerships include equity stakes and shared costs and revenues for key pieces of these respective company’s pipelines.”
