8-K Item 2.02: Earnings release
Actionable Insight ▲ Bullish

The magnitude of the revenue beat and the guidance raise to $775M-$785M (implying ~$228M-$230M in Q4) signal accelerating commercial traction for both iDose TR and Epioxa. The preliminary $1B FY 2027 guide suggests management sees a clear path to sustained 30%+ growth. Key watch items: Q4 execution on Epioxa J-code optimization and the five MAC proposed LCDs for iDose TR, which could create reimbursement headwinds.
