Recursion Pharmaceuticals (RXRX): Revisiting Valuation After a Tentative Share Price Rebound

Simply Wall St · 1d ago

Recursion Pharmaceuticals (RXRX) has been quietly regrouping after a tough year in the market, with the stock edging higher over the past week and month even as its year-to-date return stays deep in the red.

See our latest analysis for Recursion Pharmaceuticals.

That recent 7 day share price return of 10.78 percent and a 30 day share price gain of 4.55 percent suggests momentum is tentatively rebuilding, even though the year to date share price return and 1 year total shareholder return remain sharply negative.

If Recursion’s rebound has you thinking more broadly about the sector, this could be a good time to explore other healthcare stocks that might fit your watchlist.

With shares still down sharply over the past year but trading at a discount to analyst targets, is Recursion an underappreciated growth story, or are investors already pricing in its ambitious pipeline and platform potential?

Most Popular Narrative: 24% Undervalued

With Recursion’s last close at $4.83 versus a most popular narrative fair value of about $6.33, the story leans firmly toward upside potential.

Rapid integration and iterative improvement of the Recursion OS 2.0 platform, incorporating advanced AI and ML tools (such as Boltz-2 and causal AI for clinical trial design), are expected to drive faster, more cost effective drug discovery and development, improving R&D efficiency and supporting long-term margin expansion.

Curious how aggressive revenue growth, future margins, and a premium earnings multiple come together to justify that upside? The narrative’s financial blueprint might surprise you.

Result: Fair Value of $6.33 (UNDERVALUED)

However, ongoing cash burn and heavy reliance on big pharma partnerships mean funding setbacks or collaboration disappointments could quickly undermine the bullish thesis.

Another Angle on Valuation

Our DCF model paints a cooler picture, pointing to a fair value of around $4.36, which would make Recursion slightly overvalued at today’s $4.83 share price. If cash burn stays high or milestones slip, could that gap widen instead of closing?
