Model-generatedGenerated by the Bull Rankings model from this company's reported fundamentals, and checked against the figures shown above.

Why now
Biotechnology · market cap $5.2b. Down 32% from 52-week high of $78.48 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue -91% — in contraction; any catalyst that reverses this triggers re-rating. 18 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $87.22 (implying +63% upside).
Moat
Pharma moat is patent runway + pipeline depth — a single approved molecule funds the next generation of bets. Late-stage trials carry binary readouts that swing valuation 30%+.
Risk
Free cash flow is negative (-$371m) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk. Revenue contracting -91% — the operational turn is not yet visible in the top line. Down 32% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
Horizon
1-3 yr $87.22 (18-analyst consensus) — catalyst-driven; binary events dominate. 5 yr $152.55 — requires the platform / technology to reach commercial scale. 10 yr $272.64 — return distribution heavily skewed.

CRISPR Therapeutics AG (CRSP): score, valuation & FAQ

CRISPR Therapeutics AG (CRSP) is a Biotechnology company that scores 18.6 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a weak reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

The model flags FCF (F) and Rev (F) as weaker areas.

Is CRSP a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores CRSP 18.6 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a weak reading. A score is a quantitative screen of CRISPR Therapeutics AG's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does CRSP score 18.6 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). CRSP grades middle-of-pack across the strip, and is held back by FCF (F) and Rev (F). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is CRSP overvalued or undervalued?

We don't compute a reliable discounted-cash-flow value for CRSP — typically because it is not yet consistently profitable or free-cash-flow positive — so its valuation rests on growth and price-to-sales rather than on earnings-based intrinsic value. Judge it on the trajectory of the business, not a single multiple.

What are the main risks of investing in CRSP?

Free cash flow is negative (-$371m) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk. Revenue contracting -91% — the operational turn is not yet visible in the top line. Down 32% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
