Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 12 | Executive appointment | Neutral | -4.7% | Neil Berkley named permanent CFO and continues as Chief Business Officer. |
| Dec 01 | Conference participation | Neutral | -7.3% | Management participation in Bank of America CNS Therapeutics Conference. |
| Nov 06 | Quarterly earnings | Neutral | +3.6% | Q3 2025 results, cash runway into 2027, ABC programs and trial updates. |

Neutral or routine news (management changes, conferences, R&D events) has often coincided with negative next-day moves, while clearly clinical or earnings-related updates have shown more mixed, sometimes positive, reactions.
Over the last few months, Alector’s news flow has included management changes, conference participation, earnings, and major clinical updates. A Dec 10, 2025 CFO appointment and multiple conference/event announcements were followed by negative price reactions. By contrast, Q3 2025 financials and business update on Nov 6, 2025 saw a positive move despite reporting a net loss and a discontinued program. The October 2025 Phase 3 failure produced a modest decline. Today’s conference participation fits into a pattern of frequent investor‑facing communications alongside ongoing pipeline development and restructuring.
