Company Report

Exelixis Earnings: Cabozantinib Drives Sales, but Patent Expirations Present Challenges

Exelixis started 2024 in a solid position with total revenue of $425 million in the first quarter, a 4% increase from the prior-year period. We forecast 2024 total revenue of roughly $1.89 billion, driven by strong performance from cabozantinib. The results are in line with our expectations, and we maintain our $18.90 fair value estimate. We view the shares as currently overvalued, trading at a 17% premium to our fair value estimate.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Cabozantinib has been effective in a variety of cancers, including kidney, liver, and thyroid cancers, and label expansions could further expand the drug’s market opportunity.

Bears

Cabozantinib is the active ingredient in two of Exelixis' three approved drugs (Cabometyx and Cometriq) and its strongest U.S. patent covering cabozantinib’s composition of matter expires in 2026.
