RA Capital Management bought 8,772,496 shares at $6.23 blended average, expanding stake to 26.98M shares (+48.2%), while WVE stock is down -68.9% from 52-week high.
RA Capital Management, a director at Wave Life Sciences, executed 4 separate purchases totaling 8,772,496 shares for $54,624,377.99 between March 26–30, 2026, at a blended average price of $6.23. This represents a material 48.2% increase in the director's holdings from 18.20M to 26.98M shares. The accumulation is notable given WVE's recent performance: the stock currently trades at $6.62, down -68.9% from its 52-week high of $21.31 and down -52.5% over the past 30 days. Underlying fundamentals show deterioration: the company generated $8.7M in quarterly revenue (down -60.6% year-over-year), posted a net loss of $53.9M, and remains unprofitable. The insider's cross-ticker track record shows strong historical buy outcomes (11 prior buys, 100% 90-day win rate, avg 90d return +69.8%), though this signals buying discipline more broadly rather than predictive power specific to WVE, where measurable same-ticker outcomes are absent.
