Zymeworks Inc. is transitioning from a development-stage biotech to a royalty-driven, revenue-generating platform following zanidatamab's FDA approval. Zanidatamab's first-line HER2+ gastroesophageal cancer approval expands the eligible patient population and unlocks a $250M milestone plus 10–20% tiered royalties. ZYME's near-term upside hinges on commercial execution, label expansions, and integrating durable cash-flow assets like YUPELRI from the pending Theravance acquisition.
