8-K Item 2.02: Earnings release
Actionable Insight • Neutral

The stock is driven by binary PDUFA risk on June 30, 2026, not by quarterly financials. Traders should monitor for any FDA advisory committee briefing documents or pre-PDUFA news flow. The positive elegrobart data de-risks the pipeline but is a 2027 catalyst.
