ImmunityBio faces significant operational risks due to reliance on international BCG supplies and competition from Adstiladrin in NMIBC treatment. Financially, ImmunityBio struggles with high cash burn, limited cash runway, and substantial debt, despite backing from billionaire founder Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong. Anktiva's market adoption is uncertain beyond NMIBC, with potential hurdles in expanding to other indications like NSCLC, ovarian cancer, and TNBC.

ImmunityBio's recent $100M public offering was necessary to support ANKTIVA's commercialization and pipeline programs, despite the dilution and lower offering price of $3 per share. The company's cash burn rate and financial health remain concerns, but ANKTIVA's impressive performance and future milestones could drive substantial growth and extend the cash runway. IBRX's financial risks persist, and multiple offerings may be needed before profitability, but the potential for explosive revenue growth by 2029 supports a bullish outlook.
ImmunityBio's Anktiva shows promise with potential peak revenues of ~$900m annually, but faces significant competition and financial challenges, including a poorly timed $100m fundraising effort. Despite recent setbacks, including a Q3 net loss of $80m and a cash position of $130m, I maintain a "Buy" rating, anticipating positive 2025 catalysts. Anktiva's efficacy in NMIBC and potential in NSCLC + other cancers are potentially compelling, but the company needs substantial funding to complete ongoing and planned clinical studies.
