Analyst Summary:
Poseida Therapeutics has announced its Q4 and full-year 2022 financial results and program updates. The clinical-stage cell and gene therapy company reported strong progress and validation for its proprietary technology and programs in both cell and gene therapy. Mark Gergen, CEO of the Company said, "2022 was a year of execution, progress, and validation for our proprietary technology and programs in both cell and gene therapy." The company expects to file an IND for one of its preclinical allogeneic CAR-T products in mid-2023. The company is also advancing multiple preclinical gene therapy programs in liver-directed diseases. Poseida's revenues increased primarily due to collaboration and license agreements with Roche and Takeda. The company increased its headcount, including an increase in stock-based compensation expense. Poseida expects its cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments will be sufficient to fund operations into at least mid-2024. Based on the updates, we believe that Poseida Therapeutics is making good progress in developing its technologies and product candidates.
