Arbutus Biopharma: $230M Buyback And Moderna Cash De-Risk The Path To A Potential HBV Cure

Arbutus Biopharma is rated Buy, leveraging a $179.1M Moderna settlement and a 46M share buyback to enhance per-share value. Imdusiran, ABUS's RNAi asset for chronic hepatitis B, targets a functional cure and could generate $1.59–$2.39B in peak annual revenue if successful. Current valuation ($4.50/share) slightly exceeds risk-adjusted fair value ($3.91), with upside tied to positive Phase 2b/3 Imdusiran results.

Arbutus Biopharma: Moderna Validates My IP Bull Case

Arbutus Biopharma is now much better capitalized after Moderna validated the value of its LNP patents. As for ABUS' in-house assets, I think Imdusiran has shown durable viral control. The main caveat is that it comes from combo therapies. Their balance sheet gives them a comfortable runway to pursue imdusiran's upcoming Phase 2b trial, which is yet another optionality vertical for the stock.
