Lunit Highlights AI-Powered IHC and Tumor Microenvironment Research at ASCO 2026

At ASCO 2026, Lunit will present precision patient stratification and biomarker-driven oncology research through AI-powered HER2/IHC biomarker quantification and spatial tumor microenvironment analysis.

SEOUL, South Korea, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lunit, a leading provider of AI for cancer diagnostics and precision oncology, today announces that five studies featuring its AI biomarker platforms are being presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, taking place May 29–June 2 in Chicago, IL.

Lunit at ASCO 2026

This year’s presentations reflect Lunit’s expanding biomarker research beyond conventional immune profiling toward integrated AI-powered HER2/IHC biomarker quantification and spatial tumor microenvironment (TME) analysis. Using AI to characterize HER2 expression, immune phenotypes, tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS), tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), and endothelial cells, the studies highlight the potential of integrated biomarker analysis to improve precision patient stratification across multiple cancer types.

The five presentations include studies across biliary tract cancer (BTC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), microsatellite-stable (MSS), metastatic colorectal cancer and advanced gastric cancer (AGC).

One of the featured studies, led by researchers at Yonsei University College of Medicine, evaluates a first-line quadruplet regimen consisting of trastuzumab, nivolumab, gemcitabine, and cisplatin in HER2-positive advanced BTC. The study is selected as a Rapid Oral Presentation at ASCO 2026.

Using AI-powered whole-slide image (WSI) analysis, researchers analyze HER2 expression and immune phenotypes within tumor tissue. Among 40 patients enrolled in the multi-center phase Ib/II trial, the combination of therapy demonstrates an objective response rate (ORR) of 55%, disease control rate (DCR) of 95%, and median progression-free survival (PFS) of 10.6 months. Patients with HER2 IHC 3+ tumor cell proportions ≥10%, as identified by AI analysis, achieve substantially higher response rates compared to those below the threshold (80% vs. 36.4%). The study demonstrates how integrated AI-powered HER2 and spatial tumor microenvironment analysis may help identify patients more likely to benefit from HER2-targeted combination therapies.

Another study characterizes the tumor microenvironment landscape of HER2-overexpressing NSCLC using AI-powered spatial analysis. Across more than 2,000 NSCLC whole-slide images, HER2-overexpressing tumors demonstrate significantly reduced tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte density and lower proportions of inflamed immune phenotype compared to non-overexpressing tumors. The immune-cold phenotype becomes more pronounced in tumors with higher proportions of HER2 3+ cells. The study provides additional insight into the biological relationship between HER2 overexpression and tumor immune status, while highlighting the broader potential of combining AI-powered HER2 analysis with spatial tumor microenvironment characterization in biomarker research.

Another featured study, conducted with Seoul National University Hospital, explores AI-powered spatial tumor microenvironment analysis in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), a rare cancer with limited treatment options. Researchers identify a subgroup of ACC patients with high endothelial cell and tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) densities who demonstrate significantly prolonged progression-free survival following axitinib treatment (19.6 months vs. 11.1 months). The findings suggest that AI-based spatial profiling may help distinguish responder populations that are difficult to stratify using conventional biomarkers alone.

Researchers at Asan Medical Center investigate AI-powered tumor microenvironment analysis in MSS metastatic colorectal cancer, which is generally considered resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Researchers find that patients with larger tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) regions identified by AI demonstrate improved progression-free survival and overall survival following immunotherapy. The findings highlight the potential of AI-powered spatial analysis to identify MSS colorectal cancer patients more likely to benefit from immunotherapy.

“These studies demonstrate how AI-powered biomarker analysis is evolving beyond conventional immune profiling toward integrated HER2/IHC quantification and spatial tumor microenvironment analysis,” said Brandon Suh, CEO of Lunit. “We believe integrated biomarker analysis will play an increasingly important role in precision oncology research, patient stratification, and treatment-response assessment.”

Lunit will be exhibiting at ASCO 2026, where attendees can learn more about the company’s AI biomarker platforms and research collaborations.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit per share, adjusted net income, and adjusted operating expenses, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted operating profit represents income from continuing operations, before income taxes, excluding share-based compensation expenses, one-time transactions, and other expense (income), net. Adjusted operating profit per share represents adjusted operating profit divided by our weighted average shares outstanding on a basic and diluted basis. Adjusted net income represents net income attributable to the Company, excluding share-based compensation expenses, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and one-time transactions. Adjusted operating expenses represent total operating expenses, excluding share-based compensation expenses and one-time transactions.

We believe that adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit per share, adjusted net income, and adjusted operating expenses help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in income before income taxes, net income, and total operating expenses. We believe that adjusted operating profit, adjusted net income, and adjusted operating expenses provide useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit per share, adjusted net income, and adjusted operating expenses should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to income before income taxes, earnings per share, net income attributable to the Company, and total operating expenses or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit per share, adjusted net income, and adjusted operating expenses presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Quarterly Reconciliations of Non-GAAP and GAAP Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.

Definitions

“Customer assets” refer to the sum of the fair value of all equities, ETFs, options, warrants, futures, digital assets and cash held by customers in their Webull brokerage accounts, net of customer margin balances, as of the record date. While customer assets are significantly impacted by mark-to-market valuations of customers’ investments and digital holdings, we consider customer assets an important metric as growth in customer assets generally leads to an increase in trading volumes and revenue.

“DARTs” refer to daily average revenue trades, which is the number of customer trades executed during a given period divided by the number of trading days in that period. DARTs provide us information on how active our customers trade.  A limitation of this metric is that it does not capture the size of the trade and revenue per trade varies significantly depending on size and type of trades.

“Equity notional volume” refers to the aggregate dollar value (purchase price or sale price as applicable) of trades executed over a specified period of time. Equity notional volume directly drives our equities trading revenue, as we earn payment for order flow or commissions for customers’ equities trades based on a percentage of notional value. However, equity notional volume is highly sensitive to market conditions in the short-term which makes predicting our equity trading revenue with precision difficult.

“Funded accounts” refer to Webull brokerage accounts into which the customer has made an initial deposit or money transfer, of any amount, whose account balance (which is measured as the fair value of assets in the customer’s account less the amount due from the customer) has not dropped to or below zero for 45 consecutive calendar days as of the record date. Funded accounts reflect unique customers, and multiple funded accounts by a single customer are counted as one funded account. Growth in our funded accounts provides insight as to the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and our ability to acquire monetizable customers. Funded accounts are positively correlated with, but are not determinative, of customer assets, trading volumes, and revenue.

“Options contracts volume” refers to the total number of options contracts bought or sold over a specified period of time. Options contracts volume directly drives our options trading revenue, as we earn payment for order flow or commissions for customers’ options trades on a per contract basis. However, options contracts volume is highly sensitive to market conditions in the short-term, which makes predicting our options trading revenue with precision difficult.

“Registered users” refer to those users who have registered on our platform but not necessarily have opened a brokerage account with one of our licensed broker-dealers. Growth in our registered users provides insight as to the popularity of the Webull App. While we do not generate revenue from registered users who do not have brokerage accounts with us, registering an account on the Webull App is the first step toward opening and funding a brokerage account with us.

Contra Revenue Impact

Most of our platform users are not considered customers under ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), and promotional payments made to these platform users are accounted for as a marketing and branding expense. Conversely, for our platform users who have been determined to be customers under ASC 606, we account for these promotional payments as a reduction in revenue (i.e., “contra revenue”). The following presents how contra revenue impacted our revenues.

The unaudited financial and operational information included in this press release is subject to potential adjustments and is based on the information available to management at this time. Potential adjustments to operational and consolidated financial information may be identified from work performed during Webull’s preparation of financial statements subsequently hereto or its year-end audit. Information may also be presented differently from the information included herein in the future. This could result in significant differences from the unaudited or other historical operational and financial information included herein.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this press release or other statements of the Company made in connection herewith, including, for instance, statements as to business strategy and plans, future results of operations and financial position, planned products and services, objectives of management for future operations or strategies of the Company, market size and growth opportunities, competitive position and technological and market trends, are forward-looking statements. Some of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, including “anticipate,” “expect,” “suggests,” “plan,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” “seek,” “future,” “propose,” “continue,” “intend,” “estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “will,” “forecast” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology although not all forward-looking statements contain such terminology.

All forward-looking statements are based upon current estimates and forecasts and reflect the reasonable views, assumptions, expectations, and opinions of the Company and its management as of the date of this press release, and are therefore subject to a number of factors, risks and uncertainties, some of which are not currently known to the Company and its management and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Some of these factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships and deepen engagement with users, customers and suppliers, and retain its management and key employees; (2) the reliance of key functions of the Company’s business on third-parties and the risk that the Company’s platform and systems rely on software and applications that are highly technical and may contain undetected errors that could result in unexpected network interruptions, failures, security breaches, or computer virus attacks; (3) the risks associated with the Company’s global operations and continued global expansion, including, but not limited to, the risks related to complex or constantly evolving political or regulatory environments that may result in substantial costs or require adverse changes to the Company’s business practices; (4) the Company’s estimates of expenses and costs, of profitability or of other operational and financial metrics as well as the Company’s expectations regarding demand for and market acceptance of its products and service; (5) the Company’s reliance on trading related income, including payment for order flow (“PFOF”), and the risk of new regulation or bans on PFOF and similar practices; (6) the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, rapidly changing interest rate environments, volatile prices of securities and digital assets and their respective trading volumes; (7) the Company’s reliance on a limited number of market makers and liquidity providers to generate a large portion of its revenues, and the negative impact of the loss of any of those market makers or liquidity providers; (8) the effects of competition in the Company’s industry and the Company’s need to constantly innovate and invest in new markets, products, technologies or services to retain, attract and deepen engagement with users; (9) changes in international trade policies and trade disputes that could result in tariffs, taxes or other protectionist measures adversely affecting our business; (10) risks related to general political, economic and business conditions globally and in jurisdictions where the Company operates; (11) risk of further actions taken by various government bodies in the United States that have made the Company the subject of inquiries and investigations relating to concerns about our connections to China; (12) the risk that the failure to protect customer data and privacy or to prevent security breaches relating to the Company’s platform could result in economic loss, damage to its reputation, deter customers from using its products and services, and expose it to legal penalties and liability; (13) the risks associated with incorporating artificial intelligence technologies into certain of our products and processes, including potential regulatory, operational, reputational, or compliance challenges; (14) risks related to the Company’s need as a regulated financial services company to develop and maintain effective compliance and risk management infrastructures as well as to maintain capital levels required by regulators and self-regulatory organizations; (15) the ability to meet, or continue to meet, stock exchange listing standards; (16) the possibility of adverse developments in pending or new litigation and regulatory investigations; (17) risks relating to our offering of event contracts or prediction market products in the United States, including potential changes in regulatory interpretations or enforcement priorities; (18) risks related to significant disruptions in the cryptocurrency market that negatively impacts user engagement with cryptocurrency trading on our platform; (19) political, regulatory or economic changes that affect cryptocurrencies, including changes in the governance of a cryptocurrency; (20) risks related to the offer and resale of our securities, such as dilution from the issuance of additional Class A ordinary shares upon the exercise of warrants, and increased volatility, or significant declines, in the price of our securities based on increased trading activity and the perception that sales of our securities may occur; (21) risks relating to the Company’s share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $100 million of its Class A ordinary shares, including that the program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, and that the actual amount, timing and manner of any repurchases will depend on market conditions, share price, applicable legal requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors; and (22) other risks and uncertainties that are more fully described in filings made, or to be made, by the Company with the SEC, including in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the Company’s filings with the SEC, such as the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 9, 2026. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Reported results should not be considered an indication of future performance. There may be additional risks that the Company and its management presently do not know about or that the Company and its management currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In light of these factors, risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this press release may not occur, and any estimates, assumptions, expectations, forecasts, views or opinions set forth in this press release should be regarded as preliminary and for illustrative purposes only and accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
