🧠 Baker Bros. Advisors LP — biotech royalty based in New York — manages a high-conviction portfolio worth $9.48 billion spread across 95 positions. True to their style, they don’t diversify for the sake of it—they bet big on what they believe in.

💡 Takeaway: Nearly 45% of Baker Bros.' total portfolio is concentrated in their top two bets—Beone Medicines and Incyte Corp. Despite Kymera Therapeutics being in their top 10, it represents just under 3% of total assets—a promising but smaller slice of the biotech pie.
🎯 High conviction + deep sector expertise = the Baker Bros. edge.
🧬 What Does Kymera Do?
They’re not selling jeans. They’re developing small molecule protein degraders—compounds that tag disease-causing proteins for cellular trash duty. Think biotech’s version of taking out the garbage—with science.
Current Pipeline:
-
IRAK4 Program (Phase 2): Hidradenitis Suppurativa & Atopic Dermatitis
-
STAT6: For allergic and atopic diseases
-
TYK2: Autoimmune inflammation
-
IRF5 & CDK2: In collaboration with Sanofi and Gilead
They’re going after conditions with high unmet need and blockbuster potential. But... it’s early days.
💰 Dilution? Oh Yes. But There's a Catch.
June 26: Kymera priced a $250.8M stock offering:
-
5,044,500 common shares at $44.00
-
655,500 pre-funded warrants (same price, minus $0.0001 exercise)
👉 And who snapped up the warrants?
Baker Bros., of course.
Yes, it’s dilution—but it also gives Kymera plenty of cash (pro forma, not too far from a nice, cool $1 billion), enough runway through 1H 2028.
🧪 Recent Pipeline Wins
✅ STAT6 Program (KT-621):
-
First-in-human trial = 🔥
-
90%+ degradation in blood
-
Comparable to Dupixent (the gold standard)
-
Well-tolerated, placebo-like safety profile
✅ Gilead Deal (CDK2 program):
-
Oncology focus
-
Option/license agreement inked in June 2025
✅ Sanofi Collab Update:
-
Advancing KT-485 (IRAK4)
-
$975M in potential milestones, double-digit royalties
That’s some strong pharma validation.
📊 Q1 Financials
-
Revenue? Not yet meaningful.
-
Net loss? Expected.
-
Burn rate? Manageable for now.
As indicated above, with dilution done, cash balance swells to around $1 billion—enough to advance pipeline aggressively.
Pre-offering: $775M + Gross proceeds: ~$250.8M ≈ Total: ~$1.025B (before offering costs)
That’s a very healthy war chest for a development-stage biotech 🧬—giving them ample runway into 2028, per their projections.

🧠 Why We Care About Baker Bros.
Founded in 2000 by brothers Julian and Felix Baker, the firm:
-
Manages ~$9.5B in assets
-
Holds 95 positions, but 50% of portfolio = 2 stocks
-
Typically holds investments for 3+ years
-
Specializes in biotech—and nothing else
Felix (Stanford PhD in Immunology) and Julian (Harvard grad) have served on boards of Seagen, Incyte, Acadia, Genomic Health, etc.
🧬 Translation? They really know what they’re doing.
⚠️ But Let’s Be Real
-
This is still development-stage biotech.
-
There’s no commercial product (yes, it's a repeat of 1, but 1 hurts, even if it's innovative and beautiful)
-
Valuation is frothy:
-
P/S: 57.27 (!) (that's Price/Sales)
-
P/B: 3.89 (that's Price/Book)
-
EV/Revenue: 45.53
-

📣 Final Word
Baker Bros. just added nearly $29M worth of Kymera shares. That doesn’t mean you should bet the farm—yet.
✅ The platform is promising.
✅ The cash runway is long.
✅ The partners (Gilead, Sanofi) are legit.
✅ The talent (and shareholders) are top-tier.
But…
🚧 The stock is richly priced.
⚗️ The pipeline still needs to prove itself in late-stage trials.
💸 Bottom Line:
This is high-risk, high-reward biotech investing. Want in?
Start small, buy on dips, and consider this your speculative moonshot. 🚀

This is not financial advice. We don’t wear lab coats, and we’re definitely not Baker Bros. Advisors. (But we’d accept honorary PhDs in humor and sarcasm.)
