Upturn Advisory & Investor View for BDTX

11/03/2026: BDTX (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Black Diamond Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on precision oncology by targeting specific genetic drivers of cancer. Its primary strength lies in its proprietary MAP platform, which allows for the design of selective therapies like BDTX-1535. The main investment story centers on the potential of its clinical-stage pipeline to treat patients with few remaining options. However, as a pre-commercial firm, it faces significant risks including clinical failure, cash burn, and intense competition from large pharmaceutical incumbents. The stock is best suited for growth-oriented investors with a high risk tolerance who are prepared to monitor ongoing clinical trial data readouts closely.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
BDTX receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft quantitative characteristics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
BDTX has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+132.1%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 42.3%) are partially offset by slightly negative revenue growth (+0.0%), very low insider ownership of 0.66%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
BDTX's financial health is supported by strong liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 81.6%). Operating efficiency is solid (4 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is BDTX's strongest growth driver at +147.5% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+132.1%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (+0.0%, slightly negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 72.6% and approximately 91.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.66%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

BlackRock Inc 6.82%
Acadian Asset Management LLC 4.09%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 3.70%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
BDTX generates approximately $995 of gross profit, $284 of operating income, and $423 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins, cash conversion, and capital efficiency support the rating.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 0.00%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
BDTX has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
