AllakosNASDAQ: ALLK

Allakos (ALLK) has been upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), reflecting growing optimism about the company's earnings prospects. This might drive the stock higher in the near term.

Allakos shifted focus to AK006 in 2024 after lirentelimab's failure in phase 2 trials for atopic dermatitis and chronic spontaneous urticaria. Phase 1 work with intravenous and subcutaneous AK006 demonstrates that the drug may not require frequent dosing, which may be important given potential competition from oral remibrutinib. Upcoming Q1'25 data from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of IV AK006 in over 30 CSU patients is a near-term catalyst.
