Upturn Advisory & Investor View for KYMR

09/25/2026: KYMR (4-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Kymera Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the innovative field of targeted protein degradation to address various diseases. The company is known for its proprietary Pegasus platform and strategic partnerships, notably with Sanofi, which help validate its scientific approach. Its main opportunity lies in successfully advancing its lead pipeline assets like KT-474 through clinical trials to potential market approval. Risks include the inherent uncertainty of drug development, substantial cash burn, and intense competition from larger, well-capitalized biotech firms. This stock is best suited for growth-oriented investors with a high risk tolerance who are prepared to monitor clinical data milestones.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
KYMR has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-39.1%), soft cash generation (FCF margin -597.8%), negative revenue growth (-16.7%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
KYMR's financial health is supported by moderate efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 991.3% of revenue). Cash strength is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
KYMR's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being free-cash-flow growth at -13.0% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while revenue growth (-16.7%, negative) and earnings growth (-39.1%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 119.3% and approximately 79.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 2.12% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
KYMR generates approximately $1,000 of gross profit, $-8,913 of operating income, and $-5,978 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 0.07%

Quantitative Style Profile
