The brokerage said in a note Tuesday that it was a "strong" quarter for Carvykti with 21% excluding-US and 8% US quarter-over-quarter growth to $597 million, driven by increasing use in earlier lines of therapy, expansion into community treatment centers, and limited competitive pressure. Investor focus is shifting to in vivo CAR-T programs, with the pipeline now including at least three assets targeting GPRC5D, BCMA, and CD19/CD20. The CD19/CD20 program is of particular interest, with an update expected around mid-2026 at a key medical meeting, and given that no abstract was included in the general release, it could potentially be presented as a late breaker in June, the analyst said. "We see Carvykti as a best-in-class CAR-T therapy for multiple myeloma," the analyst said, adding that the therapy could reach $2.75 billion in 2026 sales and $8 billion at peak sales. The investment firm sees Legend Biotech ( LEGN ) on track toward adjusted company-wide profitability in 2026. RBC raised Legend Biotech's ( LEGN ) price target from $62 to $64, with an outperform rating. Price: 28.78, Change: +0.52, Percent Change: +1.84 MT Newswires does not provide investment advice.
