Shares of Agios Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: AGIO) plummeted by 5.94% on Wednesday after the biopharmaceutical company reported disappointing third-quarter 2024 financial results, missing analysts' estimates on both earnings and revenue.
The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company reported earnings of $4.20 per share for the quarter, significantly missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $16.69 per share. Revenue for the quarter came in at $8.96 million, falling short of analysts' expectations of $9.46 million.
The earnings miss marked the fourth time in the last five quarters that Agios Pharmaceuticals has fallen short of Wall Street's projections. The company's stock has more than doubled since the beginning of the year, but the latest results have raised concerns about its ability to sustain the momentum.
While the company's management is expected to provide further insights during the earnings call, the sustainability of the stock's price movement will largely depend on future earnings expectations and the company's outlook. With a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), the stock is expected to perform in line with the market in the near future.
