Market Cap: $90.24M
Allakos Inc., with a market cap of US$90.24 million, is a pre-revenue clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing therapeutics for allergy and inflammatory diseases. Recent Phase 1 trial data for its AK006 treatment in chronic spontaneous urticaria showed promising safety and receptor occupancy results, but the company remains unprofitable with significant net losses reported. The stock has experienced high volatility, and shareholders have faced dilution over the past year. Financially, Allakos has short-term assets exceeding liabilities but less than a year of cash runway, which may impact its operational sustainability without additional funding or revenue generation.
