JPMorgan analyst Chris Schott says the risk/reward for shares of Bristol-Myers Squibb looks "very attractive" ahead of the World Conference on Lung Cancer, which begins September 6. Data at the conference supportive of an Opdivo/Yervoy combo would represent a clear catalyst for the shares, Schott tells investors in a research note. Bristol is "already extremely well-positioned" in the advanced non-small cell lung cancer market, and data suggesting that the company has addressed toxicity concerns with the combo could push the stock above $70, Schott argues. Bristol closed yesterday up 39c to $63.47. The analyst sees limited downside to stock even with disappointing results at the World Conference on Lung Cancer. He reiterates an Overweight rating on Bristol with a $75 price target.

Bristol Myers Squibb and Cellares, a development and manufacturing organization dedicated to clinical and industrial-scale cell therapy manufacturing, announced a worldwide capacity reservation and supply agreement for the manufacture of CAR T cell therapies in a transaction valued up to $380M in upfront and milestone payments. As part of the agreement, Cellares will optimize, automate, and tech-transfer select Bristol Myers Squibb CAR T cell therapies onto its automated and high-throughput manufacturing platform, the Cell Shuttle. Cellares will dedicate multiple Cell Shuttle and Cell Q systems with fully automated, high-throughput quality control for Bristol Myers Squibb's exclusive use. The Cell Shuttles and Cell Qs will be deployed in Cellares' Smart Factories in the U.S., EU, and Japan. This agreement expands upon the existing collaborations between Bristol Myers Squibb and Cellares. In August 2023, Bristol Myers Squibb participated in Cellares' Series C financing to launch the first IDMO Smart Factory in an effort to meet the demand for cell therapies globally. That same month, Bristol Myers Squibb joined Cellares' Technology Adoption Partnership Program to evaluate the Cell Shuttle's automated manufacturing capabilities.
