Aktis Oncology

AKTS

Market cap $1.21B

Aktis Oncology trades at a $1.1B market cap with $540M cash, pricing its pipeline and Eli Lilly collaboration at $560M. The investment thesis hinges on the mini-protein platform targeting Nectin-4, with lead asset AKY-1189's Phase Ib data expected Q1 2027 as a binary catalyst. My conservative base case yields $12/share equity value, well below the ~$20 market price, implying patient expansion is already priced in.

These findings, which supported the advancement of a broad clinical development program for AKY-2519, will be presented in two poster presentations at the upcoming 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting, being held May 29 – June 2, 2026, in Chicago.

BOSTON, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aktis Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AKTS) (Aktis or the Company), a clinical-stage oncology company focused on expanding the breakthrough potential of targeted radiopharmaceuticals to large populations, today announced the initiation of a Phase 1b clinical trial of AKY-25191 in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The mCRPC-dedicated Phase 1b trial is part of Aktis' clinical development strategy to develop AKY-2519 broadly in B7-H3 expressing tumors. Aktis plans to initiate a Phase 1b basket trial in lung, colorectal, and other high B7-H3 expressing solid tumors in the second half of 2026.

Aktis Oncology is initiated with a "Buy" rating, driven by its innovative miniprotein radioconjugates targeting Nectin-4 and B7-H3 solid tumors. The company expects key catalysts: AKY-1189 phase 1b Part 1 data in Q1 2027 and AKY-2519 ASCO poster presentations and phase 1b initiation in mid-2026. The company's approach aims to expand the radiopharmaceutical market beyond PSMA and SSTR2, leveraging alpha-emitting actinium-225 for broader tumor targeting potential.

The mean of analysts' price targets for Aktis (AKTS) points to a 74.7% upside in the stock. While this highly sought-after metric has not proven reasonably effective, strong agreement among analysts in raising earnings estimates does indicate an upside in the stock.
