The four additional judgments offered by Bank of America and SVB Securities raised their respective price objective on Arcellx from $39.00 to $50 during this time, clearly indicate that investor confidence has had underlying support for these reported developments.
Furthermore, Citigroup Inc’s move to reduce holdings in the biotech firm by 41.5% during Q4/2022 is particularly noteworthy – giving reason for breadth-taking contemplation in an analysis of portfolio performance trajectory- it was disclosed according to the most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The bank held 49,328 shares of ACLX stock worth around $1,528 million at the end of the quarter after selling roughly 34k shares during that period.
