AgomAb Therapeutics' stock plummeted 8.13% intraday as the biopharmaceutical company made its disappointing debut on the Nasdaq exchange.
The Belgium-based company, which focuses on developing treatments for immune and inflammatory diseases, saw its American Depositary Shares open significantly below its initial public offering price of $16 per share. The stock's weak opening reflects investor concerns despite the company successfully raising $200 million through its IPO.
AgomAb's lead product candidate, ontunisertib, is being developed for fibrostenosing Crohn's disease, a severe form of Crohn's characterized by inflammation-driven strictures that often require surgical intervention. The company's market debut below its offering price suggests tempered investor enthusiasm for its clinical pipeline.
