The EPS miss vs elevated Street expectations from Q1's massive beat may pressure the stock near-term, but the underlying product revenue growth and clean balance sheet provide a floor. Monitor the Q3 2026 earnings call for any guidance revision on Elfabrio penetration and PRX-115 enrollment updates.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Protalix BioTherapeutics reported Q2 2026 revenue of $19.9M, up 27% YoY, and net income of $3.8M ($0.05 EPS), compared to $0.2M net income in Q2 2025. The revenue beat was driven by Elfabrio sales growth, but the EPS of $0.05 was below the Street consensus of $-0.01 (a miss vs the whisper number). The company reiterated full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $78M-$83M, which includes a $25M milestone already received. The stock is likely to trade on the EPS miss relative to elevated expectations from the prior quarter's strong beat, despite solid product revenue growth and a clean balance sheet with $40.7M cash and no debt.
