I remain cautiously optimistic about Agenus, driven by BOT/BAL's strong clinical data and cost-reduction efforts, but maintain a speculative 2/5 conviction rating.

Agenus's restructuring, asset monetization, and cost cuts aim to extend the runway and avoid near-term dilution, but financial risks and execution remain key concerns.
