Shares of Rigel Pharmaceuticals (RIGL) are skyrocketing in pre-market trading, surging 26.85% following the release of impressive third-quarter results and an upgrade to its full-year guidance. The biopharmaceutical company's strong performance has ignited investor enthusiasm and prompted an analyst upgrade.
Rigel reported total revenue of $69.5 million for Q3 2025, significantly beating analyst expectations of $61.9 million. The company's net product sales showed remarkable growth, increasing by 65% year-over-year to reach $64.1 million. This growth was primarily fueled by strong performances from key products TAVALISSE, GAVRETO, and REZLIDHIA. Additionally, Rigel's net income for the quarter rose to $27.9 million, more than doubling from $12.4 million in the same period last year.
In light of these strong results, Rigel has raised its full-year 2025 revenue guidance. The company now expects total revenue to be between $285 million and $290 million, up from the previous forecast of $270-$280 million. This positive outlook, coupled with the company's progress in its R289 study for lower-risk MDS, has bolstered investor confidence in Rigel's growth trajectory. Furthermore, Cantor Fitzgerald has raised its price target on Rigel Pharmaceuticals to $38 from $32, while maintaining a Neutral rating on the shares, adding to the positive sentiment surrounding the stock.
