What's the Better Dip to Buy: CRISPR Therapeutics vs. Bluebird Bio
The last 12 months haven't been kind to the likes of gene editing stocks like CRISPR Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CRSP) and Bluebird Bio (NASDAQ: BLUE). Whereas CRISPR's shares fell by 31%, Bluebird's are down by 33%. CRISPR Therapeutics is on track to have a transformative 2023, but its biggest risk is that regulators will stymie its efforts to commercialize its gene therapy candidate exa-cel, which aims to treat beta thalassemia and sickle cell disease.
