Upturn Advisory & Investor View for YARW

10/01/2026: YARW (2-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Yarrow Bioscience is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on treating Graves' disease and thyroid eye disease through its lead monoclonal antibody, YB-101. The company has successfully raised significant capital and completed a merger with VYNE Therapeutics, providing a cash runway that extends into 2028. Its primary investment story hinges on the success of its Phase 2 clinical trials, which aim to prove the efficacy of YB-101 as a potential first-in-class therapy. However, the company remains speculative, carrying high execution and competitive risks due to its single-asset pipeline. It is best suited for growth-oriented investors willing to accept volatility in exchange for potential breakthroughs in autoimmune medicine.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
YARW receives a 2-star rating, reflecting soft or weak scores across the available pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft quantitative characteristics, and soft analyst coverage.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
YARW has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+33.5%) and solid revenue growth (+13.8%) are partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -5811.2%), weak profitability (net margin -4646.1%), modest insider ownership of 2.02%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
YARW's financial health is supported by moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 94.3%). Cash strength is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is YARW's strongest growth driver at +33.5% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). Revenue growth (+13.8%, solid) and free-cash-flow growth (+2.8%, moderate) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 26.0% (moderate) and 20.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (soft). Insider ownership of 2.02% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
YARW generates approximately $960 of gross profit, $-52,191 of operating income, and $-58,112 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: 0.93%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
YARW has a High Volatility Profile profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
