EXEL designs advanced medicines and regimens to battle cancer. Its product portfolio focuses on an expanding range of tumors, with EXEL treatments proving to be leaders against renal cell carcinoma. Some recent favorable regulatory rulings also have the company’s pipeline looking more attractive from a future sales perspective.

EXEL’s third-quarter results for fiscal 2024 saw revenue of $539.5 million and updated annual revenue guidance of up to $2.2 billion. The company’s cabozantinib treatment drove much of the revenue jump, providing $478.1 million. That could continue after a favorable regulatory ruling could extend the drug’s revenue potential into the next decade.

It’s no wonder EXEL shares are up over 62% in a year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
