- OPKO completed a second major asset sale of BioReference’s oncology assets and repositioned BioReference as a streamlined, regionally focused clinical lab with a national 4Kscore franchise, which management says positions the diagnostics business for sustained profitable growth in 2026.
- The company struck a collaboration with Regeneron (potentially >$1 billion in milestones plus royalties) and has an EBV vaccine partnership with Merck, providing non-dilutive funding and external development/commercial support for ModeX programs.
- ModeX clinical progress: MDX-2001 has dosed >25 patients with dose escalation showing tolerability and early efficacy signals, MDX-2004 (immune rejuvenator) and MDX-2003 (CD19/CD20 tetraspecific) are in/entering Phase 1, and multiple readouts/phase advances are expected through 2026.
- OPKO entered 2026 with a strong liquidity position (reported $369 million in cash/restricted cash) and an active buyback program (34.6M shares repurchased in 2025; ~$113M remaining authorization), which management is using alongside R&D investments.
- Financial headwinds remain as Q4 revenue declined to $148.5M (from $183.6M) after the divestiture, Q4 net loss was $31.3M, and full-year 2026 guidance implies heavy spending with total costs of $725M–$750M driven by increased R&D investment.
