Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (RXRX) saw its stock plummet by 5.90% in intraday trading on Wednesday, as a bearish analyst report raised concerns about the company's AI-driven drug discovery approach and its financial stability.
According to the analyst's report, Recursion has consistently been rated as a "Hold" due to skepticism surrounding its AI-powered drug discovery model and its financial instability. The company has reported significant losses and a high cash burn rate, putting pressure on it to secure new funding or revenue streams.
The recently announced merger with Exscientia brings additional cash but also increased R&D costs, making it likely that the combined company will need to raise more funds soon. Furthermore, the analyst stated that Recursion's pipeline lacks compelling catalysts in the near term, and revenues from its drug candidates in the next five years seem unlikely.
