IDNA jumped 13.53% in one day on 2.8x average volume after three catalysts, including Moderna's and Merck's positive Phase 3 INTerpath-001 data. IDNA trades at a 14.90x forward P/E, implying a 6.7% theoretical earnings yield. Closing the valuation gap with XBI's forward multiple would mechanically add about 29.5% to IDNA's price as a one-time re-rating.
The iShares Genomics Immunology and Healthcare ETF is invested in 49 companies involved in genomics, immunology and bioengineering. Compared with the biotechnology benchmark IBB, IDNA has value characteristics, but has greatly underperformed, losing over 20% since its inception. Among genomics-focused ETFs, PBE offers a relatively safer choice with better performance and lower volatility.
