What are analysts saying about Agenus stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Agenus stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Agenus' collaboration agreements with players like Incyte and Merck not only validate its technology platforms but also provide the company with funds. In fact, it received a boost when Merck selected its lead antibody candidate and several backup antibodies for an undisclosed checkpoint target. We are encouraged by Agenus’ efforts in developing Prophage vaccine for glioblastoma multiforme. In Mar 2017, the company undertook certain restructuring activities in order to cut costs and focus on developing key product candidates. However, with no approved product in its portfolio, Agenus is heavily dependent on collaborators for topline growth. Shares of the company have underperformed the Medical-Biomedical/Genetics industry year to date." (7/5/2017)

Consensus Ratings for Agenus (NASDAQ:AGEN) (How are Consensus Ratings Calculated?) MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.
MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.
