Where PRLD is headed

Prelude sits in an unusual spot for a $425M biotech. It has a shot at doing something Incyte's Jakafi never did: hit the actual driver mutation in myeloproliferative neoplasms without flattening healthy JAK2 signalling along the way. The JAK2V617F program is the reason to own this stock. If PRT2527 and the mutant-selective JAK2 asset generate clean hematologic responses in Phase 1 readouts through 2026 and into 2027, the conversation shifts from 'another JAK inhibitor' to 'the first genuinely selective one', and that reframes the addressable opportunity across MF, PV, and ET into something north of $3B annually at peak.
