What ImmunityBio does

Immunotherapy biotech selling Anktiva for bladder cancer and developing cell-therapy and cancer-vaccine candidates.

Earns from sales of Anktiva, instilled into the bladder in a urologist's office alongside the standard BCG treatment. Spending far exceeds sales while the launch builds, and the company has been funded largely by chairman Patrick Soon-Shiong, who holds a majority of the shares. The rest of the pipeline is not yet generating sales.

Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
