IOVA

SAN CARLOS, Calif., July 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Iovance Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: IOVA) ("Iovance" or the “Company”), a biotechnology company focused on innovating, developing, and delivering novel polyclonal tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (“TIL”) therapies for patients with cancer, today announced that on July 16, 2026 (the “Date of Grant”), the Company approved the grant of inducement stock options covering an aggregate of 139,930 shares of Iovance's common stock to seventeen new, non-executive employees.

Iovance Biotherapeutics is showing steady operational and financial progress, supporting a speculative Buy rating upgrade. Q1 revenue reached $71.4M, with Amtagvi generating $60M; the sequential dip was attributed to one-off events, not demand weakness. Gross margin was impacted by temporary costs but is expected to improve to 50%+ as internal manufacturing scales and opex reductions take effect.

Amgen provides a stable, diversified revenue base of nearly $36.7 billion with significant net income. Iovance Biotherapeutics offers high growth potential through its innovative cell therapies for advanced cancers.

(NASDAQ: IOVA) ("Iovance" or the “Company”), a biotechnology company focused on innovating, developing, and delivering novel polyclonal tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (“TIL”) therapies for patients with cancer, today announced that on June 18, 2026 (the “Date of Grant”), the Company approved the grant of inducement stock options covering an aggregate of 140,860 shares of Iovance's common stock to twenty-seven new, non-executive employees.

IOVA guides for $350M–$370M 2026 revenue (36% YoY growth), with Q2'26 expected to be a record Amtagvi quarter. Expansion into new indications (NSCLC, endometrial, sarcoma) and global markets underpins the pipeline-in-a-drug thesis. A more receptive FDA increases the likelihood of accelerated approvals based on single-arm data, streamlining IOVA's development path.

Iovance Biotherapeutics has surged over the past year, but the stock is down by nearly 80% over the past five years. Past issues with dilution and disappointment may be clearing up, given recent sales growth and the company's current cash position.

Iovance Biotherapeutics (NASDAQ:IOVA) said it has obtained clearance of an Investigational New Drug application for IOV-5001, extending its next-generation cell therapy platform into solid tumors the company said account for more than 100,000 US deaths a year. The clearance allows Iovance to begin clinical work on IOV-5001 and marks the platform's move beyond its current focus and into the solid tumor setting.
