Upturn Advisory & Investor View for IMMP

10/21/2026: IMMP (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Immutep Ltd is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing novel LAG-3-based immunotherapies for cancer. Its primary asset, eftilagimod alpha, is currently in late-stage clinical trials, representing the core value proposition for investors. The company's main strengths lie in its specialized research focus and strategic industry partnerships. However, the investment story carries substantial risks, including the absence of commercial revenue, inherent clinical failure risk, and intense competition from large-cap pharmaceutical giants. Immutep is likely best suited for high-risk growth investors who monitor clinical trial readouts and partnership news, as the stock's performance is closely tied to these periodic scientific milestones.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
IMMP receives a 3-star rating based on the available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
IMMP has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, strong revenue growth (+182.3%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-26.3%), weak cash generation (FCF margin -381.7%), weak profitability (net margin -544.8%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
IMMP's financial health is supported by moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 79.8%). Cash strength is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is IMMP's strongest growth driver at +182.3% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+12.5%, solid) is also solid, while earnings growth (-26.3%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 1.1% (soft) and 93.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (strong). Insider ownership is only 0.01%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Mariner Wealth Advisors LLC 0.05%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
IMMP generates approximately $830 of gross profit, $-5,762 of operating income, and $-3,817 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Operating losses and cash burn explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 0.00%

Quantitative Style Profile

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