Spark’s Take on ATRA Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ATRA is a Underperform.

Atara Biotherapeutics faces significant financial and operational challenges despite strong revenue growth. High liabilities, negative cash flow, and a poor valuation dampen the stock’s outlook. The FDA’s recent positive decision offers some hope, but strategic hurdles and financial instability weigh heavily on the overall score.
