Executive Summary

Protara Therapeutics reported Q1 2026 net loss of $17.8M ($0.31/sh), beating the $-0.36 consensus by ~14%. Cash stood at $177M, sufficient into 2028. The company intends to submit a BLA for TARA-002 in lymphatic malformations in 2H 2027 and expects to complete ADVANCED-2 enrollment in 2H 2026. The earnings beat is positive, but widening losses and the lack of revenue limit the impact.
