EXEL is an oncology company that discovers, develops, and commercializes new treatments for hard-to-treat cancers. Its second-quarter 2026 report showed $629 million in quarterly revenue ($573 million from its cabozantinib product alone, a 10% year-over-year rise), GAAP net income of $212 million ($0.82 per diluted share), $1.4 billion in cash, and $312 million in repurchases last quarter.

It’s no wonder EXEL shares are up 26% so far this year – and they could rise more. MoneyFlows data shows how Big Money investors are once again betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
