Nektar Therapeutics Gains Momentum As Eli Lilly Buyout Buzz Explodes!
Nektar Therapeutics is back in Wall Street’s spotlight after reports and social media speculation suggested that pharmaceutical heavyweight Eli Lilly may be exploring a potential acquisition of the biotech company. Shares surged roughly 8% following the chatter, extending a 294% year-to-date rally that has lifted its market capitalization to over $1 billion. The speculation arrives at a pivotal time for Nektar, whose lead candidate, rezpegaldesleukin (REZPEG), has produced promising results in moderate to severe atopic dermatitis and is advancing toward Phase III readiness by early 2026. The company also expects data from its alopecia areata trial in December 2025—another potential inflection point that could expand its footprint in dermatology. Recent FDA Fast Track designations for both indications underscore growing regulatory confidence in Nektar’s T regulatory (Treg) mechanism, even as the company balances its strong cash position against a history of operating losses, clinical risk, and ongoing litigation with Eli Lilly.
