IBRX wins conditional EU approval for its Anktiva+BCG bladder cancer combo, sending shares soaring 41.9% and expanding its global footprint to 33 countries.
ImmunityBio (IBRX) was a big mover last session on higher-than-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions might help the stock continue moving higher in the near term.
ImmunityBio commands a premium valuation on the promise of Anktiva, a chemo-free immunotherapy platform showing early efficacy and manageable safety. IBRX's Anktiva is FDA-approved for BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, with robust commercial traction—FY25 revenue reached ~$113 million, up 700% YoY. Key pipeline catalysts include upcoming trial readouts in bladder cancer and glioblastoma; positive data could drive further upside, but valuation is highly sensitive to setbacks.
