Supernus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SUPN) saw its stock price plummet 12.28% in after-hours trading on Tuesday, despite reporting third-quarter earnings that beat analyst expectations. The biopharmaceutical company's financial results reveal a complex picture of growth mixed with significant losses.
For the third quarter of 2025, Supernus reported a loss of $0.80 per share, which, while better than the analyst consensus estimate of a $1.10 loss, represents a stark reversal from the $0.69 earnings per share reported in the same period last year. This 215.94% decrease in earnings appears to have spooked investors, overshadowing the company's revenue performance. Quarterly sales came in at $192.103 million, beating the analyst estimate of $180.523 million and showing a 9.34% increase from the previous year.
Despite the sales growth, Supernus faces challenges, as evidenced by its operating earnings of negative $60.231 million for the quarter. The company's outlook for the full fiscal year projects revenue between $685-705 million and adjusted operating earnings of $125-145 million. While these figures suggest ongoing growth, the significant quarterly loss and the dramatic shift from profit to loss compared to the previous year seem to have shaken investor confidence, leading to the sharp after-hours decline.
