    What Is Nuvation Bio's Investment Narrative?

    For Nuvation Bio to make sense as a holding, you have to believe in its ability to turn an early commercial foothold with taletrectinib and a high-upside pipeline into a sustainable oncology franchise, despite ongoing losses and a rich valuation. The new Phase 2 safusidenib data strengthen that story by adding a potentially meaningful second pillar, and help explain the very large share price move over the past few months. In the near term, catalysts now skew more toward regulatory and partnership progress for safusidenib and the commercial ramp of IBTROZI, while trial execution, safety scrutiny after past reporting issues, and financing obligations tied to taletrectinib remain key risks. The recent insider sale by the CMO also keeps questions about management’s confidence and timing front of mind for investors.

    However, one issue in particular could matter more than the recent trial headlines for shareholders. Nuvation Bio's shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued. Find out how large the opportunity might be.
