Earnings releases have typically seen positive price reactions, especially when coupled with clinical progress and clearer post‑spin financials.
Over the past year, Inhibrx’s earnings updates have consistently paired financials with pipeline milestones. Q4 2024 results highlighted post‑spin restructuring and large one‑time gains. Through 2025, Q1–Q3 releases showed shrinking R&D and G&A, a transition from prior merger-related income to recurring net losses, and advancing ozekibart and INBRX‑106 trials. Price reactions to these earnings pieces were mostly positive, suggesting investors have historically rewarded derisking of expenses and clear clinical progress, which frames today’s 2025 year-end update.
