what happened

Wedbush kept its Outperform rating on Xencor with a $45 price target. According to TradingView, which cites Benzinga data, the target implies a 54.2% gain from the October 26 close of $29.18. Analysts pointed to a confirmed 45% overall response rate for XmAb819 in heavily pretreated patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma, along with plans for a global randomized study and FDA discussions on accelerated approval.

For ORIC Pharmaceuticals, Wedbush also retained Outperform with a $14 target, implying a 56.3% upside from the $8.96 close. The note cited early data for ORIC-944 and ORIC-114, including an 88% disease control rate, even as the firm adjusted its price targets.

why it matters

Notes like these are routine coverage for small biotech names. They can move shares briefly, but they reflect one brokerage's view of trial data rather than a regulatory decision or a company announcement. Investors typically watch the trial milestones and FDA steps the note refers to.
