Memo

COMPUGEN LTD (CGEN). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2025-12-31.

Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 72.8 m USD in 2025; YoY growth 161.1%; net margin 48.6%; ROE 44.8%.

The estimated value range is 6.35–12.57 USD per share (median of 1 methods, agreement: single method); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 9.36 USD, the price of 2.03 USD leaves a potential of 361.3% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of 78.3% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

Insufficient data for a verdict (score weight coverage: 50.0% of at least 60%).

Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.

What supports the thesis

  • Net margin: 48.6%
  • FCF conversion: 88.6%
  • Revenue CAGR 3Y: 113.3%
  • Interest coverage: 1,118.8x
  • Current ratio: 6.6x
  • P/E (TTM): 5.3x
  • FCF yield: 16.3%
  • The price is below the estimated value range

What contradicts it

No signal among the computed factors. That is not an absence of risk: factors without data were not assessed, and business risks (margins, inventory, demand) are in the source-based analysis.

Not assessed (insufficient data or a ratio without meaning): ROIC, EPS CAGR 3Y, Net debt / EBITDA, EV/EBITDA, Shareholder yield (distributions), Payout ratio (FCF).

AI analysis

AI-generatedAI-generated analysis (Claude) from cited public sources; it may contain errors. Not investment advice. As of 27 Oct 2026 · Model: claude-haiku-5-5.

Possibly outdated: the newest document it read is from 02 Mar 2026; since then the company filed 6-K (10 Sept 2026), 6-K (03 Aug 2026), 6-K (18 May 2026).

In brief

Compugen Ltd. is a clinical-stage therapeutic discovery company using its AI/ML Unigen platform to identify new drug targets in cancer immunotherapy. In 2025 it reported a net profit, mainly due to an upfront payment from AstraZeneca, and its pipeline centers on COM701, an anti-PVRIG antibody in a Phase 1 ovarian cancer study with an interim analysis expected in the first quarter of 2027 1. With the immune checkpoint inhibitors market estimated at 58.53 billion USD in 2025 1, the company's direction is relevant to investors and researchers.

SWOT

Strengths

  • The Unigen platform integrates advanced computation with immuno-oncology research and has enabled identification of several novel targets 1.
  • The company has partnerships with large pharmaceutical companies that bring funding and milestone-linked payments 1.
  • The pipeline includes candidates in clinical studies, including a licensed program advancing in later phases 1.

Weaknesses

  • The company has recorded losses in prior years and carries a significant accumulated deficit, while the 2025 profit was a single occurrence 1.
  • Revenues depend on a small number of collaboration agreements, and 2025 receipts were dominated by a one-time payment 1.
  • Dependence on third parties for clinical trials and manufacturing raises the risk of delays and additional costs 1.

Opportunities

  • The immune checkpoint inhibitors market is expanding quickly, which could open new licensing agreements for targets discovered through the platform 1.
  • If the MAIA-ovarian interim analysis is favorable, COM701 could become a stronger basis for new partnerships 1.
  • The potential to find biomarkers for patient selection could improve the probability of success of clinical studies 1.

Threats

  • Setbacks in the TIGIT field have reduced the estimated value of COM902, and further failures could weigh on confidence in the category 1.
  • Competition in immunotherapy is intense, and other developers could reach the market first with similar products 1.
  • Dilution exists if future funding is raised through share issuances, and terms could be unfavorable 1.

Risks

  • Dependence on clinical successhigh

    Efficacy and safety of the candidates have not been demonstrated, and failure in trials could halt major programs 1.

  • Need for additional fundinghigh

    The company expects it will need more funds, and without them it could have to reduce or stop operations 1.

  • Dependence on partnersmedium

    Termination or changes to existing agreements could materially affect revenues and the financial position 1.

  • Events in other trials on the same targetmedium

    Adverse effects or lack of efficacy in other companies' studies may affect Compugen's programs, including patient enrollment 1.

  • Regional and currency riskslow

    Conditions in Israel and the Middle East, along with dollar to Israeli shekel exchange rate movements, can affect operations and results 1.

Investment thesis

What would need to be true (bull case)

  • If the Unigen platform yields targets that lead to new partnerships, the company could turn its computational advances into recurring revenue 1.
  • A favorable interim analysis in the MAIA-ovarian study could support COM701's value and attract new partners 1.
  • The growing immune checkpoint inhibitors market could create demand for the company's technology 1.

What would break the thesis

  • The company does not yet have a proven commercial business model, and revenues could remain irregular and dependent on a few agreements 1.
  • Setbacks in the TIGIT field could limit the value of programs tied to that target in the near term 1.
  • If future funding is raised through new shares, current shareholders could face significant dilution 1.

What to watch

  • Interim analysis result of the MAIA-ovarian study for COM701Q1 2027
  • Progress of AstraZeneca's rilvegostomig studies2027
  • New collaboration or licensing agreements for targets from the Unigen platform2027

Products, market & competition

AI-generatedAI-generated analysis (Claude) from cited public sources; it may contain errors. Not investment advice. As of 27 Oct 2026 · Model: claude-haiku-5-5.

Possibly outdated: the newest document it read is from 02 Mar 2026; since then the company filed 6-K (10 Sept 2026), 6-K (03 Aug 2026), 6-K (18 May 2026).

The business

Compugen defines its business model as selectively entering collaborations for novel targets and drug candidates at various stages of research and development under revenue-sharing arrangements 1. The Unigen platform, based on artificial intelligence and machine learning, is its key differentiator and has allowed targets to advance from computer prediction to clinical studies 1. The company stated that the only clinical trial it currently sponsors and conducts is a blinded randomized ovarian cancer study of COM701 1.

The company's revenues depend on partnerships, and in 2025 they came mainly from the 65 million USD upfront payment received from AstraZeneca 1. It has two collaboration agreements in effect, with AstraZeneca and with Gilead Sciences, Inc. 1. Historical losses and dependence on a small number of programs mean future results remain uncertain 1.

The company said its existing funds are expected to be sufficient for operations into 2029, based on current plans and without considering any additional receipts 1. If plans change or the cash burn rate increases, that period could be shorter 1.

Segments

COM701 (anti-PVRIG)

COM701 is the lead internal program, a humanized antibody binding PVRIG with high affinity, being tested in the MAIA-ovarian study in relapsed platinum sensitive ovarian cancer, with an interim analysis expected in the first quarter of 2027 1.

Rilvegostomig (AstraZeneca)

Rilvegostomig is a PD-1/TIGIT bispecific antibody derived from the COM902 program, developed by AstraZeneca under an exclusive license and being evaluated in multiple Phase 3, Phase 2 and Phase 1 trials 1.

Market context

According to an estimate cited in the report, the global immune checkpoint inhibitors market could reach approximately 229.60 billion USD by 2034, with a compound annual growth rate of 16.40% from 2025 to 2034 1. This growth matters for an immunotherapy developer, but the company's value depends on the clinical results of its programs.

The cancer immunotherapy market is expanding rapidly, and the mechanisms by which tumors evade the immune system are the company's core targets 1. Competition is intense, and failures by other companies targeting the same pathway can affect Compugen's programs 1.

Trends

  • Growth of the immune checkpoint inhibitors markettailwind

    The cited estimates indicate strong market expansion, which could create partnering opportunities for new candidates if clinical data support their potential 1.

  • Recent setbacks in the TIGIT fieldheadwind

    The December 2025 announcement that a Phase 3 study was discontinued for futility led the company to stop planning new COM902 trials, as its near-term potential is limited 1.

  • Artificial intelligence in drug discoverymixed

    The Unigen platform relies on machine learning, an expanding field, but the company acknowledges the approach is not yet clinically proven 1.

  • Access to partnerships and fundingmixed

    Revenues depend on signing new collaborations, and additional funding may be needed, with possible dilution for existing shareholders if shares are issued 1.

Competitive position

The company operates in a highly competitive and rapidly changing industry, where others could discover or commercialize competing products earlier or more successfully 1. Its stated advantage is integrating computational capabilities with immuno-oncology expertise 1.

Competitive risk is amplified because serious adverse events or lack of efficacy seen at other companies pursuing the same target may affect Compugen's programs 1.

  • AstraZenecaAZN

    Partner and developer of rilvegostomig, a potential competitor through its own PD-1 and TIGIT programs 1.

  • Arcus BiosciencesRCUS

    Company that announced discontinuation of a Phase 3 anti-TIGIT combination study, a risk signal for the whole category 1.

  • Bristol Myers SquibbBMY
