Truist lowered the firm’s price target on Autolus Therapeutics (AUTL) to $8 from $10 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The company pre-announced Q4 sales of $24M, in line with consensus, but guidance for 2026 AUCATZYL sales of $120M-$135M was below consensus, causing shares to decline, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Investor focus in 2026 is expected to shift toward cost of goods, which have outpaced sales to date, with margin improvement driven by volume scale and manufacturing efficiencies, likely becoming more evident in the second half of 2026, the firm added.
