Avalo Therapeutics files $200 million at-the-market stock offering with Jefferies
The prospectus supplement, dated November 5, 2026, lets Avalo sell shares through Jefferies over time to fund development of its lead HS drug candidate.
Avalo Therapeutics filed a prospectus supplement dated November 5, 2026 for an at-the-market stock sale program under a sales agreement with Jefferies LLC. Under the terms of that agreement, Avalo may offer and sell common stock with a combined offering price reaching up to $200,000,000 over time through Jefferies.1
Avalo's common stock trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol AVTX, and closed at $7.07 per share on November 4, 2026.1 Jefferies will earn compensation of as much as 3.0% of the gross proceeds from shares it sells under the agreement.1 The company noted there is no guarantee that any portion of the $200,000,000 in stock covered by the supplement will actually be sold, nor certainty about what price such shares might fetch.1
Avalo said it plans to direct net proceeds from the offering, combined with existing cash and investments, mainly toward continued clinical work on abdakibart and AVTX-010, along with working capital and general corporate needs.1
On the clinical side, Avalo is advancing abdakibart, its lead anti-IL-1β monoclonal antibody, into a phase 3 registrational program in hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting an estimated 1% to 4% of the global population.1 In the second quarter of 2026, the company reported positive topline Phase 2 LOTUS trial results for abdakibart in adults with moderate to severe HS, with the trial meeting its primary endpoint at both doses tested, showing HiSCR75 response rate improvements of 42.2% and 42.9% at Week 16 versus a 25.6% placebo rate.1
Assuming a $7.32 per-share price and full sale of 27,322,404 shares, Avalo's outstanding share count would reach up to 81,245,487 shares following the offering.1
