From an analytical perspective, Where can you find the next monster stocks
Check out the bio space
It's not easy, but investors can sometimes find highly mising bio stocks that are only in their early innings
Three Motley Fool contributors think they've identified monster stocks in the making
Moreover, Here's why they picked CRISPR Therapeutics (CRSP -1. 91%), Summit Therapeutics (SMMT 3. 99%), and Viking Therapeutics (VKTX 2

Additionally, A mising company in its early growth stage David Jagielski (CRISPR Therapeutics): Bio company CRISPR Therapeutics has a market cap of around $5 billion, but it has the potential to be much more valuable in the long run (an important development)
The gene editing market is still fairly small, but it has a lot of room to grow
Nevertheless, Analysts from Grand View Re ject that it will expand at a compound annual growth rate of more than 16% between now and 2030, when it will be worth $25 billion
As a leading company in the space, CRISPR Therapeutics is well positioned to benefit from future growth in this area of healthcare (which is quite significant)
Conversely, The company, and its key development partner, Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: VRTX), already have an apved gene therapy treatment in Casgevy, which regulators have apved for both sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia, considering recent developments
The companies will in the fits on the treatment (CRISPR will take 40%)
Casgevy is still in its early growth stages
CRISPR is also working on treatments for type 1 diabetes and cardiovascular disease
However, While CRISPR remains unfitable today, its future does look bright, in today's financial world
It's a long road ahead for CRISPR Therapeutics, but with an encouraging pipeline and a lot of growth potential, this could be a monster healthcare stock in the making, in today's financial world
Market analysis shows is well funded with its cash and marketable securities as of the end of March totaling nearly $1, amid market uncertainty
Additionally, 9 billion, putting it in an excellent position to continue in its re and development efforts
On the other hand, CRISPR can make for an excellent investment, but it's also one you'll need to be patient with
Still plenty of upside left for this stock sper Junior Bakiny (Summit Therapeutics): Few bio companies have performed better than Summit Therapeutics over the past three years
Nevertheless, The company's s have soared by more than 2,000%, making early investors who held on significantly wealthier in the cess
Here's the good news for those who are still considering the stock: There could be a massive upside left for Summit Therapeutics
Though the bio generates no revenue and is unfitable, it has one of the more mising pipeline ducts in the industry
On the other hand, Summit Therapeutics' leading candidate is a cancer medicine called ivonescimab, which it licensed out from Akeso Biopharma (OTC: AKES, in today's financial world
F), a China-based drug developer
Additionally, The medicine has been extensively tested in China, where it has already received apval in certain indications
One of ivonescimab's most mising is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
In a phase 3 study in China, it went head-to-head against the market leader and the world's best-selling drug: Merck's (NYSE: MRK) Keytruda (something worth watching)
Ivonescimab emerged victorious, leading to a greater decrease in the risk of recurrence or death among NSCLC patients with a PD-L1 tein overexpression
Summit Therapeutics is conducting clinical studies to support apval in the U
In contrast, Furthermore, the bio is ly to seek a series of apvals and label expansions over the years, based on the number of clinical trials and indications Akeso is targeting in China, in light of current trends
Ivonescimab should easily become a blockbuster and generate strong sales for years, in this volatile climate
Nevertheless, That's why it's not too late to invest in Summit Therapeutics
On the other hand, If ivonescimab achieves its full potential, Summit could der market-beating returns in the next five to 10 years and establish itself as a minent player in the bio industry
Targeting two monster Keith Speights (Viking Therapeutics): The big story for Viking Therapeutics is its experimental obesity drug VK2735
The company recently advanced a subcutaneous formulation of this candidate into late-stage clinical testing after announcing highly encouraging results from a phase 2 study last year, in today's financial world
Viking is also evaluating an oral version of VK2735 in a separate phase 2 clinical trial, and it expects to report results from that study later in 2025
In addition, the drugmaker plans to initiate a clinical study for a monthly maintenance version of subcutaneous VK2735 in the coming months
Morgan Stanley Re jects that the global obesity drug market could reach $150 billion by 2035, given current economic conditions
Moreover, Viking could be in a great position to claim a nice chunk of that market if VK2735 fulfills its potential
Obesity isn't the only big market that the company is targeting, though
In 2023, Viking reported positive results from a phase 2 study of VK2809 in treating metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a chronic r disease also known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
The company is seeking a partner to advance VK2809 into late-stage testing, so it can dedicate its financial resources exclusively to VK2735 for now
Grand View Re predicts the MASH/NASH market could hit $33. 8 billion by 2030, so that's a nice opportunity
A clinical trial flop for VK2735 and/or a failure to find a partner for VK2809 could prevent Viking from becoming a monster stock
In contrast, However, I think the company's chances look pretty good, in light of current trends
I also wouldn't be surprised if a larger drugmaker swoops in to acquire Viking (an important development), in this volatile climate.
