Spark’s Take on KRRO Stock

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

The score is held down primarily by very large ongoing losses and heavy cash burn despite improving revenue, indicating continued reliance on external funding. Technicals also remain weak with the stock below key longer-term moving averages and negative MACD. Corporate events add uncertainty due to trial termination and a paused collaboration, while the balance sheet’s moderate leverage provides only partial support.
