  • Kardigan Shares Surge to $22, Raising Valuation Questions
    June 21, 2026, 1:28 AM EDT. Kardigan (KARD), a South San Francisco biopharma firm focused on cardiovascular drugs, saw its stock jump 37.5% in one day to $22, valuing the company near $1.97 billion. The surge reflects investor optimism about Kardigan's AI-enabled cardiovascular platform and pipeline, but its valuation remains controversial. The firm reports negative equity and a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 6.5x, higher than industry (2.2x) and peer (3.5x) averages. Negative equity means the P/B ratio is not a typical indicator of cheapness but flags balance sheet risks. Kardigan posted a recent net loss of $230 million and depends on unproven AI tech to drive future growth, warranting caution on sustainability and funding quality.
