What Pharma Mar does

Spanish biotech developing marine-derived oncology drugs, including approved treatments Yondelis and Zepzelca.

Sells Yondelis itself through its own oncology sales force in Europe, while for Zepzelca it relies on partner Jazz Pharmaceuticals in the US, so much of its income is licence fees, milestone payments and supply to partners rather than its own selling. It also holds a separate RNA-interference research business.

In one line: A smaller, marine-natural-products oncology biotech.

Is Pharma Mar expensive compared with its peers?

For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 11% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is -4%, so the hurdle is +15 pp: the price needs faster growth than the company has been delivering — of companies that just grew 25–50% a year, 93.8% slowed down over the next four years.
How has Pharma Mar stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -33.0% against -9.0% for the median peer; over one year -9.4%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. 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). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
