Dyne Therapeutics shares were higher Monday after Avidity Biosciences, a competitor developing drugs for neuromuscular disorders, agreed to be sold to Novartis for $12 billion.
Dyne shares rose 41% to $24.14 and are up about 2% this year.
Stifel said in a note that it expected Dyne shares to trade "meaningfully higher" after the Avidity announcement. It said it considers the Avidity deal "highly validating for the space."
