Public markets showed strong appetite for biotech as eight companies executed follow‑on offerings raising approximately $3.2 billion in a single overnight session, marking one of the largest one‑day totals for follow‑ons in sector history.

For executives, the window demonstrated that clear data catalysts and corporate narratives can unlock substantial capital even amid broader macroeconomic uncertainty.
