Upturn Advisory & Investor View for IBRX

11/13/2026: IBRX (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Immunitybio Inc is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that has transitioned into an early commercial player with the FDA approval of its lead therapy, Anktiva. The company's primary strength is its proprietary cytokine and cell-based platform, which aims to trigger immune responses in cancer and infectious diseases. Its core growth story rests on successfully scaling the commercial adoption of Anktiva and expanding its utility into additional oncology indications. However, significant execution, competition, and financial risks remain, particularly regarding cash burn and market share capture against entrenched pharmaceutical leaders. Investors should monitor commercial sales performance and clinical trial readouts, as the stock typically suits those with a higher risk tolerance.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
IBRX receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft quantitative characteristics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
IBRX has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+15.0%) and strong revenue growth (+668.3%) are partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -272.6%), weak profitability (net margin -310.2%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
IBRX's financial health is supported by moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 50.4%). Cash strength is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is IBRX's strongest growth driver at +668.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). Earnings growth (+15.0%, solid) and free-cash-flow growth (+22.4%, solid) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 19.8% (soft) and 38.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (moderate). Insider ownership of 61.92% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
IBRX generates approximately $993 of gross profit, $-2,260 of operating income, and $-2,726 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Operating losses and cash burn explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 0.04%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
IBRX has a relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while soft valuation.
