The following companies are attracting increased attention from traders and investors.
ImmunityBio Inc. (NASDAQ: IBRX) Delivers Record Revenue Growth, Advances Regulatory Pipeline
ImmunityBio Inc. (NASDAQ: IBRX) reported another record quarter, highlighting accelerating commercial adoption of its flagship immunotherapy ANKTIVA® and continued progress across its oncology pipeline.
The Company reported record second-quarter 2026 net product revenue of $50.7 million, representing 92% year-over-year growth and marking its eighth consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth since the commercial launch of ANKTIVA. First-half 2026 net product revenue reached $94.8 million, an impressive 121% increase over the same period in 2025.
Beyond commercial execution, ImmunityBio continues to strengthen its long-term growth outlook. During July, the United Arab Emirates granted broad marketing authorization for ANKTIVA across BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer indications. The U.S. FDA also accepted the Company’s supplemental Biologics License Application for review, assigning a January 6, 2027 PDUFA target date for ANKTIVA plus BCG in patients with papillary disease without CIS.
The Company also secured exclusive U.S. rights to develop and commercialize the Tokyo-172 BCG strain through an agreement with Japan BCG Laboratory, helping secure long-term treatment supply while advancing multiple late-stage clinical programs. ImmunityBio finished the quarter with more than $350 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, providing substantial financial flexibility to support future commercialization and clinical expansion.
