US$24.1 million trailing revenue, but TTM loss at US$243.3 million
- Over the last twelve months, Alumis generated US$24.1 million in revenue but still reported a net loss of US$243.3 million and a basic EPS loss of US$2.86. This keeps the story centered on revenue growth that has not yet translated into positive earnings.
- What stands out in the broadly bullish growth narrative is that analysts forecast revenue to grow around 57.9% per year while the company remains loss making, so investors are effectively weighing:
- Strong top line expectations against a trailing twelve month loss of US$243.3 million that shows costs are still heavy relative to current revenue.
- A forecast period of at least three more years of unprofitability. This means the bullish view relies on confidence in future scale rather than current margins.

Forecast 57.9% revenue growth versus ongoing losses
- Analysts expect revenue to grow at about 57.9% per year, yet Alumis is currently unprofitable and is forecast to stay unprofitable over the next three years. Current figures such as the US$92.9 million Q4 loss and US$243.3 million trailing loss anchor the risk side of that growth story.
- Analysts' optimistic stance on growth is tested by the fact that the trailing EPS loss of US$2.86 and consistent quarterly net losses, including US$98.9 million in Q1 2025 and US$110.8 million in Q3 2025, show that:
- The bullish case leaning on rapid revenue growth has to accommodate several quarters where losses remained above US$90 million even as revenue moved between US$1.9 million and US$17.4 million.
- The expectation of ongoing unprofitability over the next three years is fully aligned with the recent history of net losses. This means the optimistic view hinges on future revenue scale rather than any current sign of earnings improvement.
P/B of 10.4x with 57.2% implied upside
- Alumis trades on a P/B of 10.4x, which is higher than the US Pharmaceuticals industry average of 2x but lower than a peer average of 21.8x. Analysts’ price targets of US$39.40 versus a current share price of US$25.06 imply 57.2% potential upside if those targets are met.
- Critics highlight the bearish angle that a 10.4x P/B and high volatility, together with substantial shareholder dilution over the past year, make the stock look demanding relative to an industry on 2x P/B. However, the data also show that:
- The same 10.4x multiple is below a peer group average of 21.8x, which is used by some investors to argue that valuation is not extreme within its closer comparison set.
- Analysts’ implied 57.2% upside from US$25.06 to US$39.40 sits alongside recent dilution and ongoing losses, so the bearish concern about valuation risk is balanced by targets that assume the market will keep paying for growth despite current unprofitability.
