Company & revenue

About Caribou Biosciences, Inc.

Primary reporting period: 2025-12-31 · Research updated Oct 12, 2026. A research update is not a new financial filing.

Who they are

Caribou Biosciences, Inc. operates as a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical firm dedicated to pioneering genome-edited allogeneic cell therapies. These cutting-edge treatments are engineered to address both hematologic malignancies (blood cancers) and solid tumors, serving patients across the United States and internationally. Among its primary therapeutic candidates are CB-010, an allogeneic anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy currently undergoing Phase 1 clinical trials for relapsed or refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and CB-011, an allogeneic anti-BCMA CAR-T cell therapy targeting relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

How they make money

Caribou Biosciences is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that generates revenue primarily through research collaboration and license agreements. The company focuses on developing genome-edited allogeneic cell therapies for oncology, relying on milestone payments and potential future royalties from partners rather than commercial product sales.

Products & services

The company develops CRISPR-edited allogeneic CAR-T cell therapies, including lead candidates CB-010, CB-011, and CB-012, designed to treat various hematologic malignancies.

Brands & revenue mix

No separate brand or brand-level revenue disclosure was confirmed in the reviewed sources. This does not mean the company has no brands.

Financial risk observations and what to check

These are saved observations about business performance, not predictions. Review the company filings alongside the interpretation below. Latest stored financial period end: 2026-06-30.

Quarterly revenue fell 43.8% versus the same quarter last year.

Check comparable business scope and currency, then separate volume, pricing and divestitures. One weaker quarter does not establish that the same decline will continue.

WSS View

The quick read

The overall Wall Street Score is low across its combined quality, valuation and risk inputs. This can reflect an expensive share price, business weaknesses, or both; check Company Quality and the category breakdown before drawing a conclusion.

At today’s price, the WSS valuation framework currently reads as less attractive based on the available valuation and market data.

The model outlook is currently cautious.

What we like

No strong positive signal is being highlighted from the currently available summary data.

What to watch
  • •Valuation is a weaker part of the current profile
  • •Revenue fundamentals are weak
  • •Asset quality is a weaker factor

Questions worth answering for CRBU

Research inputs 100% complete

  • •How long can CRBU fund negative free cash flow using its current cash position before it may need more debt or new shares?
  • •Does CRBU's balance between cash and debt leave enough flexibility if business conditions weaken?
  • •What specifically needs to improve for CRBU to reach sustainable profitability?
  • •What future growth or profitability would be needed to justify CRBU's current valuation?

Momentum & Volatility Signals

Two different market-behavior signals. Momentum measures direction and trend strength. Volatility measures how large and unstable the price moves are, regardless of direction.

Extreme movement

20D realized vol 240.0% · 60D 146.8% · Acceleration 1.64x
Momentum = Where is it going?

A high momentum score means price has been trending upward with confirming short- and medium-term strength. A low score means downward or weakening momentum.

Volatility = How violently is it moving?

A high volatility score means larger, less stable price swings. It can happen while a stock is rising or falling, so high volatility is not automatically bullish or bearish.

Important: the volatility score above is based on realized price volatility. Implied volatility (IV) comes from options prices and represents the market's expected future movement. Wall Street Score will keep IV separate and will only display it when a verified options-chain feed is available.
