Insider Selling
Demand Weakening
  • Verastem Oncology is discontinuing the RAMP-203 trial for advanced KRAS G12C-mutant non-small cell lung cancer, citing the emergence of next-generation G12C inhibitors with higher response rates.
  • The company plans to reallocate resources to VS-7375, an oral KRAS G12D inhibitor, which has shown approximately a 69% response rate in advanced NSCLC.
  • This announcement led to a 2% after-hours stock decline and comes amid clear financial strain, including large negative margins, an Altman Z-Score in the distress zone, and 12 insider selling transactions in the prior three months.
  • Verastem's trailing-12-month revenue was about $13.38 million, with a market capitalization of roughly $584.5 million and a three-year revenue growth rate of about 25.7%.

Guidance Update
  • Verastem is advancing its small molecule pipeline targeting the RAS pathway, with avutometinib launched for low-grade serous ovarian cancer and a G12D inhibitor in development. The company expects 2026 to be a pivotal year for both the continued launch momentum and the acceleration of the G12D development program.
