Abivax’s meteoric rise on December 22, 2025, has captivated traders and analysts alike. A confluence of acquisition rumors, analyst upgrades, and index inclusion speculation has propelled the biotech stock to a 20% intraday gain. With a $10.5B market cap and a volatile 52-week range from $4.77 to $139.62, ABVX’s trajectory reflects a high-stakes game of speculation and clinical promise.

Eli Lilly Acquisition Rumors Ignite Biotech Firestorm
Abivax’s 20% intraday surge is fueled by fresh media reports of Eli Lilly’s December 2025 meetings with French Treasury officials to assess regulatory hurdles for a potential acquisition. While Lilly remains silent on 'business development activity,' the stock’s prior 500% rally in July 2025—triggered by positive Phase 3 obefazimod trial results—has rekindled investor fervor. Analysts at Piper Sandler and Guggenheim have raised price targets to $142 and $175, respectively, citing the drug’s ulcerative colitis potential and Lilly’s recent $3.56/share Adverum Biotech acquisition. The stock’s inclusion in the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index on December 22 further amplifies speculative momentum.

Options Analysis:
• ABVX20260821C145 (Call, $145 strike, 2026-08-21 expiration):
- IV ratio: 1.10% (low volatility)

- Key stat: The 27,637% leverage ratio suggests a speculative bet on a $145+ price target, but zero turnover indicates no liquidity for entry.
• Top Pick: ABVX20260821C145 is a high-risk, high-reward contract for aggressive bulls expecting a $145+ price target by August 2026. However, the zero turnover and low IV ratio make it impractical for most traders. A safer approach is to monitor the $133.14 Bollinger upper band and $119.35 middle band for directional bias. Aggressive bulls may consider ABVX20260821C145 into a breakout above $145.36, but only with strict stop-loss discipline.

The backtest of ABVX's performance following a 20% intraday increase from 2022 to now shows remarkable results, with a strategy return of 529.39% and an excess return of 467.09%.

ABVX’s 20% Rally: A Biotech Breakout or a Speculative Bubble?
Abivax’s 20% intraday surge hinges on the durability of Eli Lilly acquisition rumors and the success of obefazimod trials at ECCO 2026. While the stock’s 52-week high of $139.62 and analyst upgrades suggest momentum, its -27 dynamic PE and $3B in long-term debt highlight risks. Traders should watch the $133.14 Bollinger upper band and $119.35 middle band for directional clues. Amgen (AMGN), the sector leader up 1.22%, offers a broader biotech benchmark. For ABVX, the key is whether Lilly’s rumored meetings translate into a formal bid—failure to confirm could trigger a sharp correction. Watch for $145.36 breakout or regulatory clarity on the acquisition front.
