As of the third quarter, the company had achieved over $500 million in upfront and milestone payments from partners. The milestone payments underscore the progress made in delivering novel insights and advancing programs. Additionally, the payments position the company among a small group of pre-commercial biotechnology companies that have achieved scale. Recursion CEO Chris Gibson said the company’s cash runway through 2027 supports advancing its AI-enabled platform to drive industry change.

The Hold rating stance at TD Cowen affirms a cautious stance ahead of the leadership transition, with Dr. Najat Khan poised to take over as CEO. Likewise, while the company has delivered solid safety data for REC-617, the candidate drug is still in the early stages of development.

Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:RXRX) is a clinical-stage company that uses AI, machine learning, and high-throughput automation to industrialize drug discovery and development. It uses its AI-powered platform, the Recursion OS, to analyze datasets to identify potential drug candidates more efficiently.
