Alumis Inc. ( (ALMS) ) has shared an announcement.

On January 2, 2026, Alumis Inc. and its subsidiary Acelyrin issued a Notice of Material Breach and claim for indemnification to Climb Bio after Climb Bio failed to pay a $3 million development milestone that came due on January 1, 2026 under a 2024 asset purchase agreement related to the budoprutug program. The dispute escalated when Climb Bio, which had previously disclosed significant milestone and royalty obligations to Acelyrin tied to budoprutug, filed a declaratory judgment action on December 31, 2025 in Delaware asserting that budoprutug is not a “Product” under the agreement; Alumis contends this stance contradicts the contract and prior statements and says it will seek the unpaid milestone with interest, legal fees, and other relief, signaling a potentially protracted legal and financial conflict between the parties.

The most recent analyst rating on (ALMS) stock is a Hold with a $11.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Alumis Inc. stock, see the ALMS Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on ALMS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ALMS is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by very large losses and substantial ongoing cash burn, despite a healthier balance sheet with low leverage. Technicals are a meaningful positive, with price strength above key moving averages and supportive momentum. Valuation remains pressured because the company is unprofitable (negative P/E) and has no dividend support.
