INmune Bio Inc (NASDAQ:INMB) is a clinical-stage biotech company.
The stock is up notably so far in 2025 due to its Alzheimer’s disease trial progress. Its Phase 2 AD02 trial completed enrollment in November 2024 with top-line cognitive data expected in Q2 2025.
Early biomarker data showed reductions in ptau-217 and neurofilament light chain. As such, there is potential that this can modify the disease.
In addition, INmune Bio fully repaid its Silicon Valley Bank term loan in December 2024. This eliminated the company’s debt and reduced its cash burn.
The consensus price target of $20.75 implies 105.96% upside.
INMB stock is up 104.82% year-to-date.
Overall INMB ranks 5th on our list of the healthcare stocks that are skyrocketing so far in 2025. While we acknowledge the potential of INMB as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame.
