Buy now (pre-market ~51.63): price is in a bullish uptrend with positive momentum, and Street targets imply sizable upside.
Near-term setup is momentum-friendly (bullish MAs + expanding positive MACD), despite being close to resistance.
Sentiment is mixed: options positioning is put-heavy (defensive/bearish hedging) and insiders have been selling, but analysts have recently turned materially more constructive.
Pattern-based forward odds (given): ~+3.99% next month bias (shorter horizons close to flat).

Positive Catalysts
supports a stronger fundamental narrative.
Neutral/Negative Catalysts
Insiders are selling (selling amount up 189.75% over the last month), which can cap near-term upside.
Options market skew is bearish/defensive (very high put/call ratios).
Prior clinical/program disappointment lingers in sentiment: rosnilimab UC miss/discontinuation previously drove target cuts (still part of the overhang).
No recent supportive news this week; the stock may need technical momentum or the next catalyst to keep pushing through resistance.
Net income: $15.11M, -146.00% YoY (sharp decline vs prior year’s comparison).
EPS: $0.52, -145.61% YoY.
Gross margin: 100% (stable; typical for milestone/royalty-like revenue mixes).

Analyst Ratings and Price Target Trends
Recent trend: After multiple cuts in Nov–Dec 2025 (post-UC trial disappointment), ratings/targets re-accelerated upward into Dec 2025–Jan 2026 on ANB033 Phase 1 / pipeline conviction.
Wall Street pros: Clear upside framing around ANB033 and pipeline optionality; multiple Buys/Overweights with materially higher targets.
Wall Street cons: History of program setbacks (rosnilimab UC miss) and model resets show the story remains catalyst-driven and sensitive to clinical readouts.
