Winston Score History

The full picture

IO Biotech is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing cancer treatments. Its main approach uses the body's own immune system to fight tumors, a method called immunotherapy. The company's lead drug candidate, IO102-IO103, targets melanoma and other solid tumors, and is being tested in clinical trials rather than sold to patients yet.

IO Biotech does not generate meaningful revenue because its drugs are still in development and not yet approved for sale. The company is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, with operations also in the United States, and it funds itself primarily through cash raised from investors. The biggest risk the company faces is clinical and regulatory: if its drug candidates fail in trials or do not receive approval from the FDA or other regulators, the company would need to raise more money or could run out of funding entirely.

Cash watch

IO Biotech has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
