Why is IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. Common Stock (IDYA) stock moving?
IDYA closed at $31.75 on Nov 10, down about 12% from $36.12 on Oct 22, with heavier volume on the Nov 3 results day and the Nov 5 drop to $30.65. The Q3 report on Nov 3 was mixed: revenue of $10.2M beat the roughly $6.9M estimate, but EPS of $(1.22) missed the $(1.18) consensus, with a net loss of $125.7M. Management kept cash runway into 2030 with $1.15B in cash and securities, and completed the darovasertib NDA for metastatic uveal melanoma in Q3. Analysts mostly kept Outperform or Buy ratings, with targets between $39 and $66, all above the current price, but most cut targets after the report, and Mizuho's cut to $39 on Nov 10 is the lowest. The next near-term catalyst is the R&D Day on Nov 16, which will show preclinical MTAP/CDKN2A data. Regulatory review of darovasertib and early IDE849 data from the global trial (expected by end-2026 or early 2027) are still ahead, so the outlook depends on events not yet reported.
