Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 19 | FDA approval | Positive | +4.6% | FDA approval of MYQORZO for symptomatic oHCM, enabling U.S. launch. |
| Dec 17 | China approval | Positive | -3.5% | NMPA approval of MYQORZO in China with milestone payments and royalties. |
| Dec 16 | Inducement grants | Neutral | -0.2% | Stock options and RSUs granted to new hires under Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4). |
| Dec 12 | EU CHMP opinion | Positive | +4.3% | Positive CHMP opinion recommending EU marketing authorization for MYQORZO. |
| Nov 18 | Inducement grants | Neutral | -1.2% | Inducement RSUs and options granted to new executive and employees. |
Regulatory milestones around MYQORZO have often coincided with positive price reactions, while routine equity and HR-related updates have tended to see flat-to-negative moves.
Over recent months, Cytokinetics has reported several major regulatory milestones for MYQORZO (aficamten), including a positive CHMP opinion on Dec 12, 2025, NMPA approval in China on Dec 17, 2025, and subsequent FDA approval on Dec 19, 2025. These events produced mixed but generally constructive price reactions, with EU and U.S. approvals drawing gains and the China approval seeing weakness. Alongside these catalysts, the company has announced multiple inducement equity grants, which have been associated with modest share-price pressure. Today’s conference appearance fits more with routine corporate communications than a new value-defining milestone.
Market Pulse Summary
