INBS stock whipsaws after Intelligent Bio Solutions lines up $10 million funding

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 03:10 ET — Market closed Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc said late Wednesday it will raise about $10 million in a private placement, sending its shares lower in after-hours trading after a sharp rally earlier in the session.

Cogent Biosciences (COGT) stock slips as insider sales follow bezuclastinib FDA filing

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 11:55 ET — Regular session Shares of Cogent Biosciences slid on Wednesday, paring losses from earlier in the session, after the biotech disclosed a key regulatory filing while investors digested a cluster of insider stock sales.

Kymera Therapeutics (KYMR) stock falls today as biotech slips — what traders are watching

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 14:30 ET — Regular session Shares of Kymera Therapeutics fell about 3% to $77.94 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, lagging a broader biotech dip. The SPDR S&P Biotech ETF was down about 1.4%, while the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF slipped about 1.1%.
