<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Exelixis's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Exelixis's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.26%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

On Sunday, Exelixis, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXEL#NASDAQ">EXEL</a>) revealed topline results from the STELLAR-303 phase 3 pivotal trial of zanzalintinib (100 mg) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b46044198/exelixis-announces-zanzalintinib-in-combination-with-an-immune-checkpoint-inhibitor-improved-overa" rel="noreferrer noopener">combined with atezolizumab</a>.
The study includes patients with previously treated non-microsatellite instability (MSI)-high <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC)</a>.
Zanzalintinib in combination with Roche Holdings AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) atezolizumab (Tecentriq) demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in overall survival (OS) versus Bayer AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAYRY#OTC">BAYRY</a>) Stivarga (regorafenib).

These topline findings are from the final analysis conducted by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee of one of the dual primary endpoints of the STELLAR-303 phase 3 trial.
The trial will proceed to the planned final analysis for the other dual primary endpoint of OS in patients without liver metastases (non-liver metastases, NLM).
The safety profiles of zanzalintinib in combination with atezolizumab and of regorafenib were generally consistent with what has been previously observed, and no new safety signals were identified.
Secondary endpoints of STELLAR-303 include progression-free survival, objective response rate and duration of response in the ITT population and in the NLM subgroup of patients. Exelixis plans to submit detailed results of STELLAR-303 for presentation at an upcoming medical conference.
Following this positive news, analysts at William Blair said that the announcement &#8220;represents the first pivotal success from the zanzalintinib program, and we are encouraged that the STELLAR-303 study met one of the dual primary endpoints of overall survival among the intent-to-treat population, representing the largest commercial opportunity (risk-adjusted U.S. peak sales of $875 million, according to our estimates).&#8221;
Management had earlier projected that zanzalintinib could reach $5 billion in U.S. net product sales by 2033, with 45% expected from genitourinary cancers, another 45% from gastrointestinal cancers, and the remaining 10% from head-and-neck cancers. Analyst Andy Hsieh asserted that the early positive results from the STELLAR-303 trial mark the first step toward reaching that target.
He added, &#8220;From a stock perspective, given its substantial and likely durable cash flow generation into early 2030, we continue to believe Exelixis provides investors with a highly defensive investment profile. We also believe that the strategic positioning outlined by Exelixis should drive moderate growth into the next decade.&#8221;
Adding to Exelixis&#8217; recent positive developments, its partner Ipsen also recently achieved a regulatory milestone.
On Friday, Exelixis&#8217; partner Ipsen received a positive opinion from the European Medicine Agency&#8217;s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use for Cabometyx (cabozantinib) for adult patients with unresectable or metastatic, well-differentiated extra-pancreatic and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors who have progressed following at least one prior systemic therapy <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b46022267/exelixis-partner-ipsen-receives-positive-chmp-opinion-for-cabometyx-cabozantinib-for-patients-with" rel="noreferrer noopener">other than somatostatin analogs</a>.
A regulatory decision by the European Medicines Agency is anticipated in 2025. In March 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b46022267/exelixis-partner-ipsen-receives-positive-chmp-opinion-for-cabometyx-cabozantinib-for-patients-with" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cabometyx in this setting</a>.
Price Action: EXEL stock is trading higher by 11.1% to $44.85 at last check Monday.

<h2>How Are Analyst Ratings Determined?</h2>
Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Beyond their standard evaluations, some analysts contribute predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, furnishing investors with additional guidance. Users of analyst ratings should be mindful that this specialized advice is shaped by human perspectives and may be subject to variability.
