Financial and Strategic Analysis

As of October 8, 2025:

  • Market capitalization: $2.696 million
  • Total cash (most recent quarter): $5.23 million
  • Net loss (trailing twelve months): $9.48 million
  • Return on assets (trailing twelve months): -82.45%
  • Return on equity (trailing twelve months): -181.98%
  • Price/Book (most recent quarter): 0.79
  • Beta (5-year monthly): 1.32

The company reports no debt. The negative earnings per share (-3.98 TTM) indicate ongoing investments in research and development. Strategically, GT Biopharma’s TriKE platform aims to differentiate itself through targeted NK-cell activation, positioning itself in early-stage immuno-oncology markets alongside larger competitors pursuing CAR-T and checkpoint inhibitors.

Market Position and Industry Context

Operating within the biotechnology research sector, GT Biopharma focuses on NK-cell engagers. The company is situated in Silicon Valley’s life-science corridor and competes with clinical-stage firms developing cellular and antibody-based immunotherapies. Its small scale and limited commercial revenue contrast with larger-cap peers; however, the proprietary TriKE constructs may meet unmet needs in refractory hematologic cancers if clinical efficacy is demonstrated.
