Truist lowered the firm's price target on Autolus Therapeutics to $10 from $11 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm is updating its model and estimates for Autolus, slightly lowering our price target as it removes AUTO4 from its valuation, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Truist adds it is assigning no value to autoimmune indications, but this could change following Autolus' April R&D day.
