Bruce Booth, a director at Kymera Therapeutics, sold 9,494 shares on April 14-15, 2026, for about $854,538 and exercised options to acquire 6,359 shares at $14.18 per share. The transactions were conducted under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. Kymera's stock has risen 244% over the past year but trades below Booth's sale prices; the company has recent regulatory and collaboration milestones, and two analysts have maintained or raised price targets.

Key Points

  • Director Bruce Booth sold a total of 9,494 Kymera shares on April 14-15, 2026, under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, generating about $854,538 in proceeds.
  • Booth exercised options to buy 6,359 shares at $14.18 per share, costing $90,170; Kymera's stock has gained 244% over the past year but was trading below the sale prices.
  • Pipeline and collaboration milestones include FDA Fast Track for KT-621, Gilead's $45 million milestone payment for KT-200 with an IND filing expected in 2027, and upcoming clinical data presentation at AAD 2026.

Bruce Booth, a member of Kymera Therapeutics, Inc.'s board, completed a block of stock sales on April 14 and 15, 2026, disposing of 9,494 shares of the company's common stock and generating roughly $854,538 in gross proceeds. The trades were executed at prices ranging from $89.95 to $90.10 per share and were carried out under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.

The sales are broken down as follows: on April 14 Booth sold 4,159 shares at a weighted average price of $89.97. On April 15 he placed three separate transactions - 2,200 shares at a weighted average price of $89.95, and two lots of 2,750 and 385 shares respectively at $90.10 per share.

Coinciding with the sales, Booth exercised options to purchase 6,359 shares of Kymera's common stock at an exercise price of $14.18 per share. The option exercises totaled $90,170 in cash paid by Booth to acquire the shares.

Kymera's shares have appreciated substantially over the past year, rising 244% from the prior-year level. Despite that advance, the stock was trading at $86.14 at the time the report noted, which is below the prices at which Booth executed his sales. An InvestingPro analysis referenced in company reporting indicates the stock appears overvalued relative to its Fair Value, and Kymera carries a market capitalization of approximately $7.04 billion.

These insider transactions occur against a backdrop of pipeline and partnership activity. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Fast Track designation to KT-621 for the treatment of moderate to severe eosinophilic asthma. KT-621 is currently being evaluated in two global Phase 2b studies that target both asthma and atopic dermatitis.

Separately, Gilead Sciences exercised its option to exclusively license KT-200, a CDK2 molecular glue degrader. That exercise triggered a $45 million milestone payment to Kymera. Under the parties' strategic collaboration, Gilead intends to advance KT-200 into IND-enabling studies, with an investigational new drug filing expected in 2027.

On the equity research front, H.C. Wainwright reaffirmed a Buy rating on Kymera and retained a price target of $134.00 after discussions with company management about ongoing trials. Stephens adjusted its outlook by raising its price target to $100 while maintaining an Overweight rating, following Kymera's fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results.

Kymera also plans to present data from its KT-621 BroADen Phase 1b clinical trial in atopic dermatitis at the American Academy of Dermatology 2026 Annual Meeting. Together, the regulatory designation, collaboration milestone and upcoming data presentations reflect active development and partner engagement across Kymera's pipeline.
