Nov 9▼ DownEarningsLegal5 articles
Ionis Pharmaceuticals reported third-quarter adjusted loss per share of $0.40, narrower than the $(1.21) estimate, while revenue of $243.000M topped the $182.117M forecast. However, the company reaffirmed full-year 2026 sales guidance of $875M-$900M, below the $916.396M analyst estimate, and a law office opened a probe after the company trimmed its sales forecast. Shares closed at $31.00, down 3.94% on the day, with a wide trading range from $27.75 to $32.58 on heavy volume of 18.56 million shares. The bearish guidance and legal inquiry appear to have outweighed the stronger-than-expected quarterly results, signaling downward pressure.
