This biotech stock is a top pick at Guggenheim

Guggenheim named Zura Bio a top pick in biotech, maintaining a Buy rating and $20 price target. The firm expects Phase II results for tibulizumab in hidradenitis suppurativa in Q4 2026, with potential for broader disease control. Guggenheim sees limited downside due to other pipeline assets and models peak sales of $1.6B for the drug. Analysts outline three scenarios with varying probabilities and implied stock prices.
