Summary

Prime editing seeks a repeatable in vivo playbook
Human proof for prime editing is strengthening, but the durable re-rate still depends on in vivo liver translation and dilution control. The setup is a few high-impact catalysts rather than linear revenue growth.

Analysis

Thesis
PRME’s non-linear upside is a credibility transition: PM359 durability + clean safety establishes prime editing in humans, then 2026–2027 in vivo liver data plus repeatable partnering reduces dilution and earns a platform re-rate into 2030.
Last Economy Alignment
AI/automation can compress design-build-test loops and strengthen safety verification, but biology/regulatory gates still dominate timing and value capture.

Reasoning
The core bet is not 2030 peak sales; it’s a re-pricing of probability-of-success once prime editing shows repeatable human durability and a credible path to scalable in vivo delivery. If Prime turns liver editing into a “reusable chassis” (multiple indications off common delivery + assay stack) and productizes partnering (upfronts + milestones + royalties), investors can rationally pay a platform multiple on still-early revenue because dilution risk and timeline uncertainty fall.

Risk Assessment

Overall Risk Summary
The swing risks are (1) whether in vivo liver delivery produces durable, safe editing in humans on the first clinical shots, and (2) whether PRME can finance to those data without heavy dilution. Secondary risks include regulatory tightening on editing byproducts/long-term follow-up, partner delays that slow non-dilutive cash, and competitive substitution from other in vivo editors with faster clinical cadence.
