Upturn Advisory & Investor View for RGNX

10/15/2026: RGNX (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Regenxbio is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that utilizes its proprietary NAV AAV vector technology to develop gene therapies. The company maintains a dual-revenue approach by licensing its platform to partners and developing its own internal therapeutic candidates, notably RGX-314 for retinal diseases. While the partnership with AbbVie provides a strong foundation and validation of its platform, the company faces significant execution and regulatory risks inherent to the biotechnology sector. It is best suited for investors with a high risk tolerance who are interested in the long-term potential of genetic medicine, keeping a close eye on clinical data readouts and regulatory milestones.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
RGNX has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+14.6%) and strong revenue growth (+104.5%) are partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -74.1%), weak profitability (net margin -113.8%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
RGNX's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 36.0%). Cash strength is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is RGNX's strongest growth driver at +104.5% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). Earnings growth (+14.6%, solid) and free-cash-flow growth (+28.0%, solid) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 65.3% and approximately 86.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 6.55% supports management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 9.74%
Redmile Group, LLC 6.65%
State Street Corp 4.52%
JPMorgan Chase & Co 3.37%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 3.21%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
RGNX generates approximately $881 of gross profit, $-946 of operating income, and $-741 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: 0.00%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
RGNX has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
