Bar width shows how precise the guidance is — a pin is a stated date, a wide band a six-month window. Deeper blue means more of the thesis rides on the event; it is not a view on the stock.

- 2026-05-26 Watch Nkarta (NKTX) — Scientific Deep Dive for NKX019 and Pipeline Products Differentiated outpatient CAR-NK thesis with credible biology and below-cash valuation, but zero autoimmune efficacy data and a stacked autologous CAR-T competitor field make this a wait-for-data situation.
- 2026-08-11 Watch UPDATE: Nkarta (NKTX) - Below Cash, Burning Faster, Still Waiting Thesis intact but cash eroding and manufacturing footprint shrinking; outpatient dosing now operational but no efficacy data yet, maintaining watch ahead of H2 2026 readout.
- 2026-09-09 Watch UPDATE: Nkarta (NKTX) - The Clock Is Set for November 8 ACR Convergence November 8 oral slots confirmed with management signaling early efficacy, but below-cash cushion has closed at $3.23 and no lupus nephritis abstract; position is now a straight data bet.
