8-K Item 2.02: Earnings release
Actionable Insight ▼ Bearish

The 40% EPS miss signals deteriorating profitability despite revenue growth. Watch for analyst downgrades and potential cost-cutting measures. The reaffirmed guidance provides a floor, but the collaboration termination adds pipeline uncertainty. Monitor next quarter's margins and any updates on the R289 Phase 1b study.
