Upturn Advisory & Investor View for LTRN

11/10/2026: LTRN (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Lantern Pharma is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that integrates artificial intelligence and genomic data through its proprietary RADR platform to accelerate oncology drug development. Its primary strength lies in using technology to identify potential drug-biomarker matches, aiming to improve success rates in clinical trials. The company's growth story hinges on advancing its clinical pipeline and establishing high-value partnerships. However, investors face significant risks, including the lack of current commercial revenue, reliance on capital-intensive clinical trials, and intense competition from larger pharma firms. Lantern Pharma may suit investors comfortable with high-risk, speculative biotech exposures who are closely monitoring clinical trial readouts and potential licensing successes.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
LTRN has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+17.6%) is partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 0.0%), slightly negative revenue growth (+0.0%), soft profitability (net margin 0.0%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
LTRN's financial health is supported by strong efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 0.0% of revenue). Profitability is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is LTRN's strongest growth driver at +17.6% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+12.0%, solid) is also solid, 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 17.2% and approximately 71.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 17.36% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 2.85%
Renaissance Technologies Corp 1.95%
BIOS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LP 1.67%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
LTRN generates approximately $-0 of gross profit, $-0 of operating income, and $-0 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Weak margins explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 0.00%

Quantitative Style Profile

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