Description: GLPG Galapagos November 10, 2025
Galapagos NV (NASDAQ:GLPG) is a Belgium-based biotech focused on developing small-molecule and cell-therapy candidates for oncology and immunology, primarily targeting the U.S. and European markets.
Its current pipeline includes four point-of-care CAR-T programs: GLPG5101 (CD19 CAR-T for relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma), GLPG5201 (CD19 CAR-T for relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia), GLPG5301 (BCMA CAR-T for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma), and GLPG3667, which has completed a Phase 1b trial. All CAR-T candidates are in Phase 1/2, indicating early-stage clinical risk but also the potential for rapid value creation if efficacy and safety benchmarks are met.
Strategic collaborations with Gilead Sciences and AbbVie provide non-dilutive funding and development expertise; to date, Galapagos has received over €300 million in upfront and milestone payments, which helps offset its cash burn of roughly €150 million per year (FY 2024). The company’s market capitalization is approximately $7 billion, giving a price-to-cash-burn multiple of about 4.5×, modest relative to the broader CAR-T sector where peers trade at 6–10×.
Key sector drivers that could amplify Galapagos’ upside include the projected CAGR of ~15 % for the global CAR-T market through 2030 and increasing reimbursement willingness for point-of-care manufacturing, which reduces logistics costs and expands access in community hospitals.
