The latest update is out from Arecor Therapeutics PLC ( (GB:AREC) ).

Arecor Therapeutics has sharpened its strategy around two core franchises, diabetes and oral peptide delivery, both in high-growth multi-billion-dollar segments, while advancing its lead insulin asset AT278 and an oral GLP-1 programme. The company reported 2025 revenues of £3.1 million, down due to the closure of Tetris Pharma, but ended the year with £6.1 million in cash, exceeding expectations and underpinning continued R&D investment.

The group made notable progress with AT278 in 2025, securing positive FDA feedback on a first-of-its-kind Phase 2 trial design that will test the ultra-concentrated insulin in combination with automated insulin delivery systems. Arecor also entered a co-development deal with Sequel Med Tech to pair AT278 with Sequel’s US-launched twiist AID pump and is negotiating a broader partnership, while advancing non-clinical studies and new IP filings for its oral peptide platform aimed at improving semaglutide bioavailability and enabling wider oral peptide applications.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:AREC) stock is a Hold with a £84.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Arecor Therapeutics PLC stock, see the GB:AREC Stock Forecast page.
