Description: CDXS Codexis January 02, 2026
Codexis, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDXS) commercializes proprietary enzymatic technologies for the manufacturing of therapeutic biologics, most notably through its CodeEvolver platform that engineers novel enzymes for use across global markets. Its ECO Synthesis system targets the large-scale production of RNA-interference (RNAi) drugs via an enzymatic route, and the firm holds strategic licensing agreements with Aldevron and Pfizer to accelerate commercialization.
Key recent metrics: the company reported FY 2023 revenue of $85 million, a 22 % YoY increase driven by expanding enzyme-as-a-service contracts; cash and equivalents stood at $150 million, providing roughly 18 months of runway at current burn rates; and the global enzyme market is projected to grow at a 6.5 % CAGR through 2030, underpinning demand for Codexis’s high-purity biocatalysts. Sector drivers include rising adoption of biologics, cost-pressure on traditional chemical synthesis, and regulatory incentives for greener manufacturing processes.
