Neurocrine Biosciences' stock surged 8.85% in after-hours trading on Tuesday, following the release of its first-quarter 2026 financial results.
The biopharmaceutical company reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.94, significantly beating the analyst consensus estimate of $1.15. Quarterly revenue reached approximately $811 million, representing a 44% year-over-year increase and surpassing expectations. The strong performance was driven by double-digit prescription volume growth for its drug INGREZZA and robust patient demand for CRENESSITY.
Additionally, Neurocrine announced a definitive agreement to acquire Soleno Therapeutics for $2.9 billion, a strategic move expected to close in the second quarter of 2026. The company also reaffirmed its full-year 2026 sales guidance for INGREZZA, projecting $2.7 billion to $2.8 billion in net sales.
