Key Points - Iovance and ImmunityBio each have a leading oncology product that has helped to massively boost sales and share prices in recent quarters.
- Despite major gains in recent trading, IOVA and IBRX shares still have at least 70% in upside potential going forward, according to analysts.
- Profitability remains a concern for both companies, even as sales of their top cancer drugs have surged.

Cancer remains one of biotechnology's greatest medical challenges, even as the oncology medicine market is expected to reach $366 billion over the next eight years. Companies often take a niche approach, developing medicines that target specific cancer types using dedicated mechanisms. Several promising treatments have shown remarkable potential—and with that comes the possibility of significant revenue. Two smaller biotech firms are seeing notable share-price momentum thanks to their leading oncology medicines. Beyond their therapeutic potential, these drugs could help the companies move beyond penny-stock status and toward longer-term stability and profitability. That said, both remain typical biotech investments: high-risk ventures that could generate outsized rewards for investors willing to take the chance. Iovance's Powerful Cancer Drug Is Growing, But Production Challenges Are a Hurdle Iovance Biotherapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: IOVA) bucked market trends in early March, surging nearly 37% in a week when the S&P 500 fell about 1%. That gain added to a year-to-date rally that has more than doubled the stock so far. Still, with a consensus price target of $8.88, Wall Street appears to expect more—that target implies roughly 71% additional upside from current levels. The primary catalyst for Iovance's rally is its lead product, Amtagvi, a T-cell immunotherapy for certain types of melanoma. Amtagvi was approved in the U.S. in 2024 and is gaining momentum in sales, with potential approvals expected in the E.U., U.K., and other markets. When administered with Proleukin, the company's IL-2 immunotherapy, management believes Amtagvi could reach more than $1 billion in U.S. peak sales. Its broader potential extends beyond melanoma: Amtagvi received FDA Fast Track designation for non-small cell lung cancer and may be active against other tumor types. Part of Iovance's strong performance this year also reflects its Q4 2025 earnings report, issued in late February, in which the company reported narrower-than-expected losses per share and $5 million in revenue. For the full year, revenue rose roughly 30% year over year. Iovance is a relatively small-cap company (about $2 billion), and despite the sizable rally, analysts remain cautious: roughly half of its dozen analyst ratings are Hold or Sell. Risks are significant. In addition to typical small-biotech risks, Iovance faces manufacturing challenges for Amtagvi—the therapy is personalized, expensive, and complex to produce—which could limit profitability even if demand grows. Massive Sales Growth for ImmunityBio's Bladder Cancer Drug Although ImmunityBio Inc. (NASDAQ: IBRX) fell about 20% in March, its year-to-date performance dwarfs Iovance's: IBRX shares are up nearly 300% in 2026 alone. Analysts have set a price target of $13.60, roughly 70% above the stock's current level even after the recent run-up. ImmunityBio's primary growth driver is Anktiva, a treatment for specific types of bladder cancer. In February, shares rose after the EU regulator granted the drug conditional marketing authorization, the latest in a series of approvals worldwide. Anktiva drove the firm's revenue to $113 million last year, a roughly 700% year-over-year increase. Like Amtagvi, Anktiva may have indications beyond its current label; ImmunityBio is actively exploring additional tumor types and regulatory designations. Despite the rapid gains over recent quarters, IBRX remains speculative and risky. IBRX reported a net loss of $351 million for 2025 as R&D spending remains elevated. Wall Street analysts are relatively bullish, however: six of seven rate the stock a Buy or equivalent. |
