Summary ImmunityBio, Inc.'s stock has significantly declined despite my previous "Buy" ratings, primarily due to a $100m fundraising and market selloff in December. Founder Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong's vision for Anktiva as a groundbreaking cancer therapy remains strong, with promising data and potential label expansions in multiple oncology fields.
