🎙️ Welcome to the BowTiedBiotech podcast. Today, we are heading into the future for a look back from the vantage point of January 1st, 2026. The second half of 2025 marked a long-awaited turning point for biotech. After years of setbacks and skepticism, a wave of clean mid- and late-stage data, strategic approvals, and commercial traction shifted the tone across the sector. By year-end, the XBI had rallied over 40% from its June lows. In this retrospective analysis we will walk through the therapeutic areas that led the charge (neurology, fibrosis, cardio-metabolic, immunology, and rare disease) and examine how they redefined sentiment, repriced risk, and reignited institutional interest heading into 2026.

ABOUT BOWTIEDBIOTECH
As a reminder, the purpose of the BowTiedBiotech substack is two-fold. Primarily, we aim to provide our scientist audience the tools to build a biotech company and ultimately translate their ideas into medicines for patients. Secondarily, biotech investors may find this substack useful as we will be providing weekly market updates of the public AND private markets as well as heavily leveraging current financing events as teaching examples.
