Key Figures
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | 24h Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 05 | Q1 earnings update | Positive | +4.8% | Profitable Q1 2026, ICOTYDE approval milestone and strong cash balance. |
| Apr 28 | Collaboration economics update | Positive | +2.7% | Rusfertide U.S. opt-out, large milestone potential and high-tier royalties. |
| Apr 16 | Inducement equity awards | Neutral | +2.2% | Stock option and RSU grants for new hires under inducement plan. |
| Mar 18 | FDA drug approval | Positive | -0.1% | U.S. FDA approval of ICOTYDE for plaque psoriasis with milestone and royalties. |

24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent material news (FDA decisions, collaboration changes, earnings) mostly saw positive price reactions, with one divergence on an FDA approval day.
Over the last six months, Protagonist reported multiple major milestones: FDA approval of ICOTYDE, acceptance and Priority Review of the rusfertide NDA, a profitable Q1 2026 with $50M ICOTYDE milestone revenue, and a value-enhancing opt-out under the Takeda rusfertide deal. Even routine items like inducement equity awards saw modest gains. Against this backdrop, today’s conference-participation news fits a pattern where substantive catalysts, not event appearances, have driven the main re-rating, while the stock trades near its 52-week high.

About Protagonist
Protagonist Therapeutics is a discovery through late-stage development biopharmaceutical company with a proprietary technology platform that enables de novo discovery of peptide therapeutics. Two novel peptides derived from Protagonist's proprietary discovery platform are at or near commercialization. ICOTYDE™ (icotrokinra), licensed to Johnson & Johnson company Janssen Biotech, Inc., is the first and only targeted oral peptide that precisely blocks the Interleukin-23 receptor. ICOTYDE was launched in the U.S. in March 2026, is approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age or older and is in Phase 3 development for psoriatic arthritis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. ICOTYDE was jointly discovered by Protagonist and Johnson & Johnson scientists, with Protagonist having primary responsibility for the development of ICOTYDE through Phase 1, and Johnson & Johnson assuming responsibility for further development and commercialization. Protagonist also discovered and led development through Phase 3 of rusfertide, a first-in-class hepcidin mimetic peptide licensed to Takeda Pharmaceuticals. An NDA for rusfertide for the treatment polycythemia vera is under priority review with the FDA. The Company also has a number of clinical and preclinical programs addressing clinically and commercially validated targets, including an oral IL-17 antagonist peptide, obesity dual and triple agonists, an oral hepcidin functional mimetic, and the recently announced IL-4 and amylin programs.
