ALEC
Alector, Inc.
ALEC shows meaningful price recovery over the past year with the stock more than doubling from its 12‑month low and trading above key short-term moving averages, while still well below the 52‑week high. At the same time, fundamentals remain deeply loss-making with sharply contracting revenue and highly negative margins and free cash flow. Valuation multiples appear elevated relative to current earnings and cash generation, and ongoing legal and clinical-trial overhangs from a failed Phase 3 program add to risk.
