GSK/Jemperli royalty cadence versus Sagard diversion • 2026-11-15

Expected move: -3%

Biggest risk

The bear case is that ANAB is now heavily dependent on a narrow set of partner-controlled royalty streams, with cash flow still partly obscured by the Sagard monetization structure; if partner sales cadence or paydown timing disappoints, the standalone royalty vehicle may not sustain the premium implied by legacy pre-spin expectations [#10-K-2026-03-03] [#PR-2025-09-29].

Invalidation

Break below $38 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

The bull case is that the completed spin removes structural uncertainty, leaves ANAB with a simpler royalty-management story, and eventually allows investors to value Jemperli and imsidolimab economics plus aggressive capital returns more cleanly once initial post-spin disclosures arrive [#8-K-2026-04-20] [#PR-2026-03-27].

Any underwhelming capital return execution could weaken the core standalone royalty-equity thesis.
Limited direct peer set and low coverage reduce valuation support and can amplify volatility around small disclosure changes.
Post-spin valuation reset risk if the market gives the new royalty-only company a lower multiple than pre-separation investors expected.

Commentary

Post-spin sentiment looks mixed rather than outright bullish. The key corporate event is now complete, which removes the 'will the separation happen' overhang [#8-K-2026-04-20], but the next step is proving that ANAB as a royalty-management company can convert Jemperli and imsidolimab economics into visible shareholder returns [#PR-2026-03-27]. Given the low-coverage setup, loose peer set, and deterministic score that still leans negative with only modest catalyst density, this reads as a cautious monitoring situation rather than a high-conviction rerating story.

GSK/Jemperli royalty cadence versus Sagard diversion
Anaptys disclosed in its 2025 10-K that collaboration revenue was $234.6 million in 2025, and the March 3, 2026 results release said Jemperli 2025 sales exceeded $1.0 billion, triggering $50 million and $75 million commercial milestones while lifting 2025 Jemperli royalties to $96.0 million. However, the September 29, 2025 separation announcement also said Jemperli receivables remain payable to Sagard until the capped monetization threshold is met, so each update on partner sales and paydown timing materially affects what ultimately accrues to ANAB shareholders [#10-K-2026-03-03] [#PR-2026-03-03] [#PR-2025-09-29].

Early post-spin capital allocation disclosures
2026-06-30
The April 20, 2026 8-K confirms Anaptys completed the separation of First Tracks Biotherapeutics and retained the royalty-management business tied to Jemperli and imsidolimab. The March 27, 2026 company update said post-spin Anaptys would manage those financial collaborations with an initial approximately $140-$145 million in net cash and investments and a $100 million repurchase authorization, so the first disclosures showing actual buyback execution or other capital returns should be the first clean test of standalone ANAB valuation support [#8-K-2026-04-20] [#PR-2026-03-27].

Cleaner pure-play royalty valuation after spin and toward de-encumbrance
2027-12-31
The completed spin-off leaves ANAB as a narrower royalty-management company holding rights to dostarlimab/Jemperli and imsidolimab royalties, while the separated biotech pipeline now sits at TRAX. Separation materials said Sagard's capped royalty monetization is expected to be fully paid down between mid-2027 and Q2 2028; if partner-led royalty cash flows remain healthy, investors may eventually underwrite a cleaner post-Sagard royalty stream and assign a more durable royalty-company multiple, but that rerating likely needs more than one quarter of evidence [#8-K-2026-04-20] [#PR-2025-09-29].
Prob 50% • Move 25% • Priced-in 20%

Risks

Any underwhelming capital return execution could weaken the core standalone royalty-equity thesis.
Limited direct peer set and low coverage reduce valuation support and can amplify volatility around small disclosure changes.
Post-spin valuation reset risk if the market gives the new royalty-only company a lower multiple than pre-separation investors expected.
Residual complexity from the Sagard monetization structure, which can blur near-term free-cash realization even when partner product sales are improving.
Royalty concentration risk, especially dependence on GSK-led Jemperli performance and timing of cash actually flowing through to ANAB holders.

Peers

Symbol	Summary
REGN	Regeneron is a useful biologics and partner-commercialization benchmark for thinking about durability of antibody-driven cash flows, although it is far more diversified and not a pure royalty-management structure.
GILD	Gilead is a loose comparator for how large biotech investors value externally partnered product economics and capital allocation discipline, but its scale and product breadth make it only a framing peer for ANAB.
AMGN	Amgen is another broad biologics cash-flow comparator that helps anchor how the market rewards durable cash generation and shareholder returns, though it is not a direct operating match for ANAB's post-spin royalty profile.
