Negative
Cost Increase Challenges: Despite achieving record sales of $145 million in 2024, the company faced significant increases in costs, with total expenses rising to $155.1 million, up from $137.4 million in 2023, primarily due to higher R&D costs and increased personnel-related expenses.

Inventory Drawdown Impact: The company anticipates a drawdown in inventory levels in the first quarter of 2025, which may negatively affect sales figures as they normalize after a year-end increase in inventory.
Net Income Improvement: While Rigel reported a net income of $17 million for 2024, this was a significant improvement from a net loss of $25.1 million in 2023, indicating that while the company is moving towards profitability, it still faced substantial losses in the previous year.
Product Dependency Risks: The company is heavily reliant on the success of its three main products, and any setbacks in their performance could significantly impact future revenue growth, especially as they project a 28% to 32% growth in net product sales for 2025.
