Upturn Advisory & Investor View for MGNX

09/14/2026: MGNX (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

MacroGenics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the discovery and development of engineered antibody therapeutics for cancer. Its primary strengths lie in its proprietary DART and TRIDENT platforms, which facilitate the development of complex, multispecific treatments. While the company has achieved initial commercial success with its product Margenza, it continues to operate at a loss while heavily investing in its R&D pipeline. Investors should monitor clinical data readouts and potential partnership developments as primary growth drivers. The stock is best suited for risk-tolerant investors interested in biotechnology innovation, as the firm faces significant regulatory, execution, and intense competitive risks inherent to the drug development industry.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

MGNX has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-11.4%), soft cash generation (FCF margin -55.5%), moderate revenue growth (+0.8%).

Financial Health Rating

MGNX's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 68.8%). Cash strength is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Revenue growth is MGNX's strongest growth driver at +0.8% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-11.4%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-15.1%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 77.5% and approximately 88.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 3.48% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

Armistice Capital, LLC 9.46%
Renaissance Technologies Corp 4.66%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.18%
Acadian Asset Management LLC 4.00%
Two Sigma Investments LLC 3.88%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

MGNX generates approximately $711 of gross profit, $-487 of operating income, and $-555 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: 0.89%

Quantitative Style Profile

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