Investors and industry watchers should temper their expectations following last week’s hat trick of biotech IPOs. The three, whose shares were in demand, were all high-quality companies with seasoned management teams and late-stage assets backed by clinical data in sought-after indications.
On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s editors assess the shifting market for biotech IPOs, including the profiles of the companies that went public on NASDAQ — Bicara Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:BCAX), MBX Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ:MBX) and Zenas BioPharma Inc. (NASDAQ:ZBIO) — the aftermarket performance of the IPO class of 2024, and the prospects for more companies to make their own debut.
BioCentury’s editors also discuss whether the rush to GLP-1s for obesity will mirror the development of PD-1s for cancer, and in response to a listener question, the impact on biopharma of the recent mainstream expansion of AI?
