Meanwhile, Wave Life Sciences saw a staggering increase of over 1,600% in the same period, reflecting its aggressive growth strategy. This divergence highlights the strategic choices companies make in balancing growth and operational efficiency. As the biotech sector continues to evolve, understanding these financial dynamics is key for investors and industry stakeholders alike.
