Three Biotech Firms Face Major Catalysts in Coming Months

Kamada said it maintains an adequate supply of KedRAB, its human immune globulin targeting rabies, even as cases linked to the viral disease rise in the United States. The Israeli biotech's shares traded higher on Thursday following the statement. Last week the CDC issued a health advisory reporting a significant increase in human rabies exposures and the use of rabies post-exposure prophylaxis, with a 17% increase in rabies-related inquiries from July through August and a 76% rise in the utilization of two U.S.-licensed rabies immunoglobulins for the week ending Sept. 2. Kamada said that in light of the increase in end-user utilization described in the CDC advisory, it has the inventory and manufacturing capacity to support continued supply of KedRAB. With its Q2 2026 results in August, Kamada reiterated its full-year guidance for revenue and adjusted EBITDA at $200M–$205M and $50M–$53M, implying 12% and 23% year-over-year growth respectively.

Weiguang Biological has received the third-stage acceptance report issued by the Belarusian state institution, the Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Transfusiology and Medical Biotechnologies, marking the successful completion and delivery of the Weiguang Biological–Belarus Blood Transfusion Center blood product cooperation project. The company has thus become the first Chinese enterprise to complete the export of blood product technology. The project officially began in December 2022 and was implemented in three major stages, with all tasks in each stage passing acceptance on the first attempt. In December 2023, Weiguang Biological completed the verification and delivery of technical documents. In October 2024, Belarusian technical personnel came to China for full-time training and all successfully completed the program. Afterward, Weiguang Biological traveled to the Gantsevichi base to conduct production condition inspections and on-site process guidance, successfully completing the trial production of human albumin and intravenous human immunoglobulin as stipulated in the contract. Through cross-testing by both parties, all indicators of the semi-finished and finished products met the standards of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China and the relevant Belarusian quality standards. The Belarusian Blood Transfusion Center highly praised Weiguang Biological's professional technical capabilities.
