Arbutus Biopharma is rated Buy, leveraging a $179.1M Moderna settlement and a 46M share buyback to enhance per-share value. Imdusiran, ABUS's RNAi asset for chronic hepatitis B, targets a functional cure and could generate $1.59–$2.39B in peak annual revenue if successful. Current valuation ($4.50/share) slightly exceeds risk-adjusted fair value ($3.91), with upside tied to positive Phase 2b/3 Imdusiran results.

Maintained strong financial position with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $92.6M as of June 30, 2026

Arbutus and its exclusive licensee, Genevant, filed three international lawsuits seeking to enforce patents protecting their innovative lipid nanoparticle (“LNP”) technology against Pfizer and BioNTech

Arbutus Biopharma is now much better capitalized after Moderna validated the value of its LNP patents. As for ABUS' in-house assets, I think Imdusiran has shown durable viral control. The main caveat is that it comes from combo therapies. Their balance sheet gives them a comfortable runway to pursue imdusiran's upcoming Phase 2b trial, which is yet another optionality vertical for the stock.
