Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTLA) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter 2019 and full-year results on Feb 27, before the market opens.

The company boasts an excellent earnings surprise history, surpassing expectations in each of the trailing four quarters, the average being 14.31%. In the last reported quarter, Intellia delivered a positive surprise of 19.67%.

Shares of Intellia have increased 7.6% in the past year versus the industry’s decline of 1.2%.

Let’s see, how things are shaping up for this announcement.

Factor to Consider

Intellia’s top line mainly comprises revenues recognized from the expansion of its existing collaboration with Novartis (NYSE:NVS) and other agreements.

The company reported $10.6 million of collaboration revenues in the third quarter of 2019, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 43.2%. It remains to be seen whether this number further shot up in the to-be-reported quarterly results.

Major Update on Q4 Earnings Call

Investors will be keen to get an update on the planned investigational new drug (IND) application for Intellia’s lead pipeline candidate NTLA-2001, which is being developed for treating transthyretin amyloidosis. The IND is expected to be filed in mid-2020 with the company planning to dose the first patient in the second half of this year.

Key Event to Note

In January 2020, Intellia announced that it selected NTLA-5001 as the first WT1-TCR-directed engineered cell therapy development candidate for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. The company plans to submit an IND on the same in the first half of 2021.

We expect management to provide a detailed update on the same at the upcoming investors’ conference.

Earnings Whispers

Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Intellia this season. The right combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of a positive surprise. But this is not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they're reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Earnings ESP: Intellia has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% as both the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the Most Accurate Estimate are pegged at a loss of 54 cents per share.

Zacks Rank: Intellia carries a Zacks Rank #3, which increases the predictive power of ESP. However, the 0.00% ESP makes surprise prediction difficult.

Biggest Tech Breakthrough in a Generation

Be among the early investors in the new type of device that experts say could impact society as much as the discovery of electricity. Current technology will soon be outdated and replaced by these new devices. In the process, it’s expected to create 22 million jobs and generate $12.3 trillion in activity.

A select few stocks could skyrocket the most as rollout accelerates for this new tech. Early investors could see gains similar to buying Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) in the 1990s. Zacks’ just-released special report reveals 8 stocks to watch. The report is only available for a limited time.
