JAZZ Q2 Earnings Miss, Sales Beat, Stock Jumps on Raised '26 View
Jazz Pharmaceuticals JAZZ reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $5.71, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.04. This shortfall primarily reflected $77 million in acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) expenses, which reduced adjusted EPS by 94 cents. In the year-ago quarter, the company posted an adjusted loss of $8.25 per share, largely due to a one-time charge of $905.4 million related to the acquisition of clinical-stage biotech Chimerix. Total revenues rose 16% year over year to $1.21 billion, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.11 billion. This uptick was driven by the better-than-expected sales performance of its oncology and neuroscience products. Shares of Jazz rose in after-hours trading yesterday. The gain was attributed to the stronger-than-expected revenues and raised 2026 sales outlook that outweighed the earnings miss. Year to date, the stock has gained 48% compared with the industry’s 2% growth. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Net product sales totaled $1.16 billion, up 17% year over year. The reported figure beat both the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.08 billion and our model estimate of $1.05 billion. High-sodium oxybate authorized generic (AG) royalty revenues fell 22% year over year to $42 million. Other royalty and contract revenues increased 67% to $10 million, though they remained a relatively small contributor to total revenues. Net product sales for the combined oxybate business, comprising Xyrem and Xywav, rose 11% to nearly $502 million. This figure beat both the Zacks Consensus Estimate of about $455 million and our model estimate of $441 million. Xywav sales increased 13% year over year to $471 million, supported by continued demand in narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia (IH). Jazz added approximately 525 net Xywav patients during the second quarter, marking its highest quarterly increase in a year. The company exited June with around 17,125 active patients, including 11,275 narcolepsy patients and 5,850 IH patients. Management said the uptake of competing high-sodium generics remained limited, supporting its expectation for double-digit Xywav growth in 2026. Xyrem sales continued their downward trajectory, declining 14% year over year to $30.5 million due to patients switching to Xywav and generic erosion.

Xyrem sales continued their downward trajectory, declining 14% year over year to $30.5 million due to patients switching to Xywav and generic erosion. Epidiolex/Epidyolex sales increased 16% year over year to $292 million. Management attributed the performance primarily to strong underlying demand across pediatric and adult treatment settings. Alongside the earnings release, Jazz announced that it had submitted a regulatory filing to the FDA for a capsule formulation of Epidiolex. This version is intended to broaden utilization within the currently approved indications, particularly among adolescent and adult patients for whom the liquid formulation may be less convenient. The company is also expanding the Epidiolex clinical program through studies in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and adult Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Oncology sales increased 32% year over year to $362 million. Zepzelca revenues surged 42% to nearly $106 million, driven by adoption in first-line maintenance treatment for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). This figure beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of more than $93 million and our model estimate of $81 million. During the conference call, Jazz announced plans to submit a labeling supplement to remove Zepzelca’s second-line metastatic SCLC indication. The proposed removal will not affect its first-line maintenance indication. Rylaze/Enrylaze posted sales of $99.5 million, down 1% year over year. Modeyso generated $48 million in sales compared with $41 million in the previous quarter. More than 600 patients had received the brain tumor treatment through the end of the second quarter since its launch last year. Vyxeos sales declined 30% to more than $31 million, while Defitelio revenues rose 29% to $62 million. Ziihera contributed $15.4 million in the reported quarter versus $13.3 million in the previous quarter. Jazz is preparing for a potential launch in first-line HER2-positive gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) following the drug's Aug. 25 regulatory action date. Adjusted gross margin contracted 60 basis points year over year to 92.1%. The decline reflected higher sales of Modeyso and Zepzelca, which carry third-party royalty obligations. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses rose 11% to more than $343 million, reflecting higher marketing investments and compensation-related expenses. Adjusted research and development costs also increased 11% to about $185 million, primarily due to higher clinical study expenses related to Ziihera. The quarter included $77 million in acquired IPR&D expenses related to agreements with AbCellera Biologics ABCL and Werewolf Therapeutics HOWL. Jazz raised its 2026 revenue guidance to $4.60-$4.75 billion from $4.25-$4.50 billion. The revision reflects stronger Xywav performance and expected double-digit growth from the epilepsy and oncology franchises. The company now expects rare sleep revenues of $2.03-$2.13 billion. Adjusted SG&A expense guidance was increased to $1.33-$1.37 billion from $1.26-$1.32 billion, while adjusted R&D expense guidance was maintained at $725-$775 million. The adjusted effective tax rate is expected to remain between 11.5% and 13.5%. Jazz Pharmaceuticals PLC price | Jazz Pharmaceuticals PLC Quote Jazz currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

All expansion arms are actively enrolling patients in the ongoing Phase 1/1b clinical trial at a recommended dose of 18 mg administered intravenously every two weeks (IV Q2W). During the second half of 2025, Werewolf plans to present interim data from the monotherapy and combination expansion arms, including tolerability, response rate, and durability, and to engage with regulatory authorities to discuss potential registrational pathways for WTX-124, including strategies for accelerated approval. The data continue to demonstrate clinically meaningful anti-tumor activity with a tolerable safety profile in patients who have previously been treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Launching a skin cancer awareness campaign educating various stakeholders on WTX-124 patient outcomes to date and the innovative science underlying Werewolf’s IL-2 cytokine therapy. WTX-330: a systemically delivered, conditionally activated Interleukin-12 (IL-12) INDUKINE molecule being developed in advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Initiated patient dosing in a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial (WTX-330x2102) to optimize the exposure of WTX-330 in the tumor microenvironment, following the encouraging clinical activity and tolerability seen in the WTX-330x2101 first-in-human study. Preclinical Portfolio: Werewolf’s previously announced development candidates WTX-712, its Interleukin-21 (IL-21) INDUKINE molecule, and WTX-518, its binding protein resistant Interleukin-18 (IL-18) INDUKINE molecule, for the treatment of cancer, and WTX-921, a first-of-its-kind Interleukin-10 (IL-10) INDUKINE molecule for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and potentially other inflammatory diseases, are available for partnering. Werewolf has extended its conditional activation technology to T cell engagers, utilizing a novel and highly effective anti-CD3 masking strategy for its INDUCER T cell engager molecules. Preclinical data demonstrate that the Company’s PREDATOR masking technology successfully silenced peripheral activity and prevented cytokine release in its INDUCER molecules. The Company’s first INDUCER development candidate is expected to be nominated in the second quarter of 2025. Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2025: Cash position: As of March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $92.0 million, compared to $111.0 million as of December 31, 2024. Based on updated forecasting, the Company now believes its existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025, will be sufficient to fund operational expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2026. Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses were $13.1 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $12.9 million for the same period in 2024. General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses were $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2024. Net loss: Net loss was $18.1 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $16.2 million for the same period in 2024.

Earnings Preview: Werewolf Therapeutics, Inc. (HOWL) Q1 Earnings Expected to Decline
Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when Werewolf Therapeutics, Inc. (HOWL) reports results for the quarter ended March 2025. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates. The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower. While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise. This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.44 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -12.8%. Revenues are expected to be $1.5 million, up 102.7% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period. Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts. Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction). The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only. A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, pa…Read full documentShow less

The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only. A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP. Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell). For Werewolf Therapeutics, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -1.51%. On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4. So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Werewolf Therapeutics will beat the consensus EPS estimate. While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number. For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Werewolf Therapeutics would post a loss of $0.43 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.46, delivering a surprise of -6.98%. Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates just once. An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss. That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported. Werewolf Therapeutics doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release. Among the stocks in the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (TARS) is soon expected to post loss of $0.73 per share for the quarter ended March 2025. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +27.7%. This quarter's revenue is expected to be $70.58 million, up 155.6% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for Tarsus Pharmaceuticals has been revised 11.3% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a higher Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 2.74%. When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP indicates that Tarsus Pharmaceuticals will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. Stay on top of upcoming earnings announcements with the Zacks Earnings Calendar.
