Assembly Biosciences (ASMB) was a big mover last session on higher-than-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions might not help the stock continue moving higher in the near term.

Assembly Biosciences, Inc.'s ABI-5366 showed strong interim phase 1b results in HSV-2 recurrent genital herpes patients, with a 94% reduction in HSV-2  shedding and genital lesion rates. Upcoming catalysts include monthly dosing data for ABI-5366 and phase 1b data for ABI-1179, both expected in fall 2025, plus potential Gilead opt-in milestones. ASMB addresses a major unmet need, as no new HSV-2 therapies have been approved in 25+ years and the market could reach $4B by 2030.
