3 Best Biotech Stocks to Buy Now, 11/12/2025, According to Top Analysts

Biotech is heating up—again. After a brutal 2024, the sector's bouncing back with breakthrough therapies and FDA fast-tracks. Here are the three stocks top analysts are betting on before year-end.
1. The Gene-Editing Powerhouse
CRISPR Therapeutics (CRSP) just bypassed phase 3 trial delays with a surprise FDA nod. Their sickle-cell treatment could hit $2B in sales by 2026—if insurers don’t throw a tantrum over pricing.
2. The Alzheimer’s Dark Horse
Cassava Sciences (SAVA) cut through amyloid-beta dogma with phase 2 data showing 34% cognitive improvement. Short sellers are still screaming ‘fraud,’ but institutional inflows tell a different story.
3. The mRNA Second Act
Moderna (MRNA) isn’t just a COVID play anymore. Their personalized cancer vaccine just doubled progression-free survival in melanoma trials. Wall Street’s whispering ‘blockbuster’—and hiking price targets by 40%.
Remember: These picks come from analysts who somehow still have jobs after missing every biotech crash since 2021. Do your own DD before riding the volatility rollercoaster.
