Niagen Bioscience ( (NAGE) ) has shared an update.

On December 16, 2025, Niagen Bioscience’s subsidiary ChromaDex, Inc. entered into an assignment agreement with Queen’s University Belfast that replaced earlier joint ownership and licensing deals and transferred QUB’s entire interest in a core portfolio of NR-related patents to the company. In exchange, Niagen agreed to structured payments including a one-time sum of about $1 million for accrued royalties through 2024, recurring annual payments from 2026 to 2038, and additional lump-sum payments in 2035 and 2038, while QUB provided a broad release from past royalty and other obligations. Announced publicly on December 22, 2025, the transaction makes Niagen the sole owner of foundational composition-of-matter and related patents covering the production, composition, and global commercial use of NR and its salt forms, consolidating what the company describes as the most comprehensive and defensible intellectual property position in the NAD+ industry and giving it greater financial, strategic and operational flexibility in developing, partnering and licensing its NAD+ precursor pipeline, including potential pharmaceutical applications.

The most recent analyst rating on (NAGE) stock is a Buy with a $7.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Niagen Bioscience stock, see the NAGE Stock Forecast page.
