Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Alnylam's Nobel-prize-winning technology and massive intellectual property in RNA interference helped the firm create an entirely new class of therapeutics for difficult to treat diseases.

Bears

Alnylam's valuation rests on its ability to maintain six-figure pricing and payers' willingness to continue reimbursement, which could be affected by shifts in healthcare drug policy.
