▲(26.43% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:06/23/26
The score is driven primarily by a strong financial inflection (rapid revenue growth, high recent profitability, and positive free cash flow) and very attractive valuation via an extremely low P/E. Technicals support an uptrend but appear overextended (RSI/Stoch elevated), and the earnings outlook is constructive with reiterated guidance and expected full-year profitability, tempered by rising expenses and collaboration-related uncertainty.
Positive Factors
Revenue and profitability turnaround
A sustained commercial inflection—large TTM revenue increase and strong margins—reflects durable product-market fit for TAVALISSE/REZLIDHIA and improved pricing/access. This creates recurring cash flow potential and funds R&D/BD activity, increasing strategic optionality over the next 2–6 months.
Negative Factors
Termination of Lilly collaboration
Loss of an external development/commercial partner shifts full program responsibility and expense to Rigel, increasing capital and execution risk for RIPK1/ocadusertib. Regaining rights creates potential upside but also immediate funding and development burden, raising program-level uncertainty.

Rigel Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 05, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 04, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveys a generally positive commercial and strategic outlook: strong top-line product growth (26% YoY overall; 31% YoY for TAVALISSE and REZLIDHIA), clear 2026 guidance and a pathway to full-year profitability, alongside promising early clinical data for R289 and expanded international partner revenues. Offsetting risks include rising operating expenses, a modest decline in quarterly net income and cash, seasonal Q1 reimbursement headwinds, a slower-growing GAVRETO franchise, and the termination of the Lilly collaboration for the RIPK1 asset (creating program-level uncertainty). On balance, the highlights—robust product sales growth, maintained guidance, pipeline progress and improved financing flexibility—outweigh the lowlights.Positive Updates
