How it compares with its industry

Three ratings, each a percentile against the 585 companies we cover in Biotechnology. Deliberately kept apart rather than blended into one score — cheap, rising and well-run are three different facts, and a single number would hide which one is which.

12 months to a month ago62.6%

6 months to a month ago20.9%
