Actionable Insight • Neutral

The earnings beat and maintained guidance are overshadowed by the widened net loss and debt extinguishment charge. The key catalyst is the Anaphylm NDA resubmission in Q3 2026 — monitor FDA acceptance and review timeline. Cash runway of $98.5M supports operations into 2027 but burn rate remains elevated.
