Citizens JMP analyst Reni Benjamin reiterated a Hold rating on Instil Bio, with shares opening at $28.65. Benjamin has an average return of -12.6% and a 34.28% success rate on recommended stocks. The overall analyst consensus rating for Instil Bio is Moderate Buy with a $125.00 average price target. Instil Bio has a market cap of $190.7 million and a P/E ratio of -2.19 [3].
Instil Bio expects to continue incurring net losses as it invests in the development of AXN-2510/IMM2510 and explores additional in-licensing or acquisition opportunities. The company anticipates that its existing cash resources will fund operations beyond 2026, with potential extension from the sale of the Tarzana facility [2].
