Institutional Ownership: Over 98% of shares.
Challenges:
Declining Revenue: Revenue dropped significantly year-over-year due to reduced collaboration income.
High Cash Burn: Burn rate of $133M annually, though reduced by 28% compared to the previous year.
Speculative Risks: High volatility and likelihood of financial distress within two years.
Outlook:
Fate Therapeutics is focused on advancing its iPSC-based pipeline but faces financial pressure due to declining revenue and ongoing losses. Its strong cash position provides a temporary cushion, but long-term viability depends on successful clinical progress and partnerships.
Gap Down/Bad News Event
No earnings report as of late so I tried to find out what the deal is. Looks like an analyst' downgrade on Friday and some other bad news.
Short is over 24%.
Makes you scratch your head and think WOW!
No recommendation/Dust needs to settle and I guess even dirt can get cheaper )o:

The company has a collaboration and option agreement with Ono Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. for the development and commercialization of two off-the-shelf iPSC-derived CAR T-cell product candidates; strategic research collaboration and license agreement with Juno Therapeutics, Inc. to screen for and identify small molecule modulators that enhance the therapeutic properties of genetically-engineered T-cell immunotherapies; and a collaboration and option agreement with Janssen Biotech, Inc. Fate Therapeutics, Inc. was incorporated in 2007 and is headquartered in San Diego, California.
FATEFATE is an interesting company, just developing. There are about 480 thousand in cash, an annual loss of 173 thousand, Has 8 studies in 1 phase. Probably, it will “accumulate” one more year before significant phase studies (3), which corresponds to the negative scenario. And 2 in partnership with Janssen and Ono Pharma.
Curious FT596 with rituximab and FT538 with daratumumab, monoclonal antibodies that have been shown to be effective in autoimmune diseases with expiring patents
There is a chance for a rebound from the TA side, we stand at it200, there are divergence boundaries and small ones. It is necessary to wait for the rebound, since there is a possibility of disappearance up to 30.
It can, of course, always abruptly and unexpectedly upward without stopping, these are still scenarios.
