Actionable Insight ▼ Bearish

The EPS miss is notable but largely driven by non-cash warrant liability adjustments, not operational deterioration. The stock's primary driver remains the June 29 PDUFA decision on OLC. Traders should monitor for any FDA advisory committee meeting announcements or pre-PDUFA volatility. The strong cash position ($57.1M) reduces near-term dilution risk.
