For <strong data-start=\"1155\" data-end=\"1178\">investment analysts<\/strong>, relying on traditional metrics leads to misleading conclusions and weak <strong data-start=\"1252\" data-end=\"1274\">portfolio insights<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"30s9et\" data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1317\">Understanding Multiple Risk Horizons<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1319\" data-end=\"1405\">Early-stage biotech companies face layered risks that unfold over time. These include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1407\" data-end=\"1600\">\n<li data-section-id=\"4e2v3x\" data-start=\"1407\" data-end=\"1453\">Scientific risk, whether the therapy works<\/li>\n<li

assessment<\/strong> differently.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1702\" data-end=\"1833\">For <strong data-start=\"1706\" data-end=\"1735\">financial risk assessment<\/strong>, analysts must assign probabilities to each stage, making <strong data-start=\"1794\" data-end=\"1811\">risk analysis<\/strong> central to valuation.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1qpu06\" data-start=\"1835\"

data-start=\"2384\" data-end=\"2429\">Scenario Analysis and Sensitivity Testing<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2431\" data-end=\"2519\">Given the uncertainty, <strong data-start=\"2454\"

data-start=\"2798\" data-end=\"2932\">For <strong data-start=\"2802\" data-end=\"2829\">financial data analysts<\/strong>, this approach improves <strong data-start=\"2854\"
