ImmunityBio's stock price fell by 6.39% and hit a 5-day low, reflecting investor concerns following recent news.
Pomerantz LLP is investigating whether ImmunityBio and its executives have engaged in securities fraud, which could undermine investor confidence and lead to stock price volatility. Additionally, the company's recent clinical trial results for its immunotherapy targeting glioblastoma indicated that the median overall survival has not yet been reached, raising uncertainties about its efficacy. This combination of legal scrutiny and clinical uncertainty has contributed to the stock's decline.
The ongoing investigation and clinical trial results may lead to increased volatility in ImmunityBio's stock, as investors weigh the potential risks against the company's future prospects.

Reason
Jefferies raised the firm's price target on ImmunityBio to $9 from $8 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm believes ImmunityBio is in execution mode to continue expanding the company's geographic and commercial presence and to advance the pipeline, and today's EMA conditional marketing authorization recommendation for Anktiva in NMIBC-CIS builds on existing approvals in the U.S. and U.K. The company is continuing regulatory dialogue on the papillary disease and also awaiting NCCN guideline decision and BCG-naive data in the second half of 2026 could be another label expansion opportunity, Jefferies adds.

Reason
Piper Sandler upgraded ImmunityBio to Overweight from Neutral with a price target of $5, up from $4.25, following a transfer of coverage. The company is developing Anktiva, t-haNK and M-ceNK cell therapies and DNA vaccines to restore the immune system's ability to kill cancer, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says Anktiva is off to a strong launch in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, with sales forecast of $83.5M in 2025. Piper sees multiple label expansion opportunities despite the refusal to file letter issued by the FDA for Anktiva in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer that is unresponsive to treatment with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin.
