What CRISPR Therapeutics does

Gene-editing biotech that co-developed Casgevy, the first approved CRISPR therapy, for sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia.

Does not sell Casgevy itself: Vertex runs commercialisation and the two split costs and profits, so CRISPR's income depends on how many patients complete the lengthy treatment process at authorised centres. Beyond that it funds research from its cash reserves, with in-house gene-editing programmes for heart disease and diabetes.

Products and services

  • Casgevy (sickle cell/beta-thalassemia, with Vertex)
  • Pipeline: in vivo gene editing (cardiovascular, diabetes)
  • CAR-T cell therapy pipeline

Customers

  • CRISPR gene-editing drug discovery and…

What could go right

  • Casgevy commercial ramp across treatment centers globally
  • Pipeline expansion into broader diseases (in vivo editing)

What could go wrong

  • Casgevy's complex, costly one-time treatment logistics limit near-term uptake
  • Cash burn funding a broad pipeline

Moat: narrow (IP / patents, process know-how). A foundational CRISPR/Cas9 patent estate and being first to market with an approved gene-editing cure.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
