Genmab's Phase 3 Momentum Fuels Shift to Majority-Owned Medicines

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Strong Phase 3 data with potential multi-billion sales, plus a decisive shift to ownership could lift cash flow and reduce royalty dependency, historically lifting equities with similar pipeline-driven upside (e.g., small-to-mid biotech run-ups on Phase 3 data). However, execution risk and financing leverage could cap upside if data mature unevenly.
