Zai Lab (ZLAB) shares plummeted 8.82% intraday, marking the lowest level since February 2025, with a cumulative decline of 26.22% over the past three days.

Zai Lab has been grappling with significant financial challenges, as evidenced by a negative return on equity of 36.97% and a net margin of -76.14%. These figures suggest that the company is currently operating at a loss, which has likely contributed to the recent decline in its stock price.

This positive outlook from analysts may provide some reassurance to investors, although it remains to be seen whether this will translate into a reversal of the recent stock price decline.
