On July 30, Corcept Therapeutics surged 20.02% overnight, trading at $111.56/share, with Turnover of $1,159.29.
The rally was driven by the company's Q2 earnings release, which far exceeded market expectations. Corcept reported EPS of $0.36, dramatically beating the consensus estimate of $0.02, representing a 24.14% year-over-year increase. Revenue reached $256.1 million, up from $194.4 million a year earlier, surpassing analyst expectations of approximately $221 million by roughly 16%.
Additionally, the company raised full-year revenue guidance to $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion, well above the prior forecast of $950 million to $1.05 billion and the FactSet consensus of $999.5 million. The strong performance was attributed to the commercial progress of core product Korlym and newly approved drug Lifyorli. The company also resubmitted its New Drug Application for Relacorilant to treat Cushing's syndrome in June, while Canaccord Genuity raised its price target from $135 to $150.
