Breaking Down Dynavax Technologies: 5 Analysts Share Their Views

JMP Securities Maintains Market Outperform on Dynavax Technologies, Lowers Price Target to $31

WIIM

Dynavax Technologies shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q1 financial results.

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary on Tuesday named Vinay Prasad the next director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration&#8217;s (FDA) Center of Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER).
Dr. Prasad has openly criticized the biopharma industry and the FDA for using accelerated approvals broadly based on surrogate endpoints.
&#8220;We are surprised by the announcement because it seems to be in stark contrast to themes and initiatives that have been laid out by Dr. Makary, and it comes on the heels of large personnel departures across the FDA, raising questions on the ability to meet review timelines,&#8221; writes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/william-blair">William Blair </a>of Blue Matrix.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45234032/fda-expands-surprise-inspections-at-foreign-drug-and-food-facilities-targets-double-standards-in-overseas-manufac" rel="noreferrer noopener">FDA Expands Surprise Inspections At Foreign Drug And Food Facilities, Targets Double Standards In Overseas Manufacturing Oversight</a>
Analyst Matt Phipps adds that there are many questions about how Prasad will shape regulatory decisions as the new head of CBER. Investors also seem confused about what CBER regulates compared to the Center of Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER).
Generally, drugs like antibodies, bispecifics and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are reviewed by CDER, even though they use biologics license applications (BLAs).
CBER, on the other hand, oversees gene and cell therapies, vaccines and some other biological products. CDER typically handles therapeutic antibodies, proteins, cytokines and enzymes.
Blair wrote on Tuesday that for cell and gene therapies stocks that have reacted negatively, there are outstanding questions and increased uncertainty now as the analyst waits to see whether Makary or Prasad will have more impact on the guidelines and regulatory development requirements for these novel therapies, particularly in rare diseases.
Since being confirmed as commissioner, Makary has advocated for more accelerated approval opportunities for ultrarare diseases or therapies with overwhelming efficacy.
The vaccine space continues to face negative sentiment from HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who requested placebo-controlled studies for new vaccine approvals.
Prasad&#8217;s appointment at CBER will likely continue to pressure this sector.
&#8220;Under Secretary Kennedy&#8217;s leadership, all new vaccines will undergo safety testing in placebo-controlled trials prior to licensure — a radical departure from past practices,&#8221; HHS <a target="_blank" href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/30/health/hhs-vaccine-placebo-testing" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a> CNN in a statement Wednesday.
Blair writes that from the coverage list, Moderna Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) has seen a sharp sell-off and remains in a difficult position with a politically out-of-favor mRNA vaccine technology and a potentially more restrictive CBER head and review process for new vaccine products.
In contrast, Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVAX#NASDAQ">DVAX</a>) remains largely insulated given that Heplisav is approved and the analyst sees less scrutiny on adult vaccines that are not being pushed as mandatory.
Taysha Gene Therapies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSHA#NASDAQ">TSHA</a>) fell 18%, Solid Biosciences Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLDB#NASDAQ">SLDB</a>) closed 20.3% lower, Capricor Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAPR#NASDAQ">CAPR</a>) stock closed 29% lower, Crispr Therapeutics AG (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRSP#NASDAQ">CRSP</a>) stock closed 12% lower, Sarepta Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRPT#NASDAQ">SRPT</a>) stock closed 27% lower, Moderna fell 12%, Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) fell 4.2%, and Novavax Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) closed 3.2% on Tuesday.

Goldman Sachs downgraded Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVAX#NASDAQ">DVAX</a>) reflecting updated views and recent competitive <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DVAX" rel="noreferrer noopener">dynamics for vaccines</a>.
Goldman Sachs analyst Paul Choi has downgraded Dynavax to Sell from Neutral and cut the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DVAX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $15 to $12</a>. He notes growing competition in the shingles vaccine market, which could reduce the potential value of the Z-1018 program and add uncertainty to its long-term revenue.
Potential convenience improvements come from GSK Plc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>) Shingrix with the company's pre-filled syringes, which have been accepted for review by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43492835/gsk-launches-share-buyback-of-around-25-billion-after-better-than-expected-q4-earnings-raises-long-term-annual-sales-forecast-to-over-50-billion" rel="noreferrer noopener">both the FDA and EMA</a> (U.S. decision expected by 20 June).
Dynavax is conducting a Phase 1/2 trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of Z-1018 compared to GSK's Shingrix in 441 healthy adults aged 50 to 69.
Choi also points to uncertain demand for repeat hepatitis B vaccinations in the 2030s, which may impact Heplisav-B's outlook beyond its peak sales. Despite its market share gains, questions remain about the FDA and ACIP's regulatory stance on vaccines in the U.S.
Last month,&nbsp;Dynavax announced preliminary HEPLISAV-B net product revenue of&nbsp;$268 million&nbsp;for 2024, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n42945098/dynavax-announces-preliminary-unaudited-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial-highlights" rel="noreferrer noopener">up 26% year-over-year</a>.
HEPLISAV-B net product revenue reached&nbsp;$71 million&nbsp;for the fourth quarter of 2024, up 39%.
In May 2024, the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter stating that the application did not provide sufficient data to fully evaluate the effectiveness or safety of a four-dose <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/05/38818397/fda-declines-to-approve-expanded-use-of-dynavaxs-hepatitis-b-vaccine-in-hemodialysis-patients" rel="noreferrer noopener">regimen of HEPLISAV-B</a>.&nbsp;
