word message on surging biotech stock
Jim Cramer called Nuvation Bio (NUVB) a 'pure spec' on CNBC's Mad Money, warning of high risk due to its reliance on pipeline drugs. The stock surged after FDA granted Fast Track status to its brain cancer drug, Safusidenib, and its lung cancer drug, IBTROZI, became the top prescribed treatment. Analysts expect 113% upside, but Cramer cautions about trial risks. NUVB is expected to post a net loss for 2026.
