NovoCure's stock surged 13.08% in pre-market trading following the release of its first-quarter 2026 financial results, which exceeded analyst expectations and prompted the company to raise its full-year revenue outlook.
The oncology device maker reported Q1 revenue of $174.06 million, a 12% year-over-year increase that beat the consensus estimate of $167.87 million. The company also improved its gross margin to 78% from 75% in the prior year, driven by lower array costs and better utilization. Revenue growth was primarily fueled by active patient growth in European markets, with additional one-time benefits from Germany and France.
NovoCure raised its 2026 net revenue guidance to $690-$710 million from the previous range of $675-$705 million. The company also anticipates topline data from its Phase 3 TRIDENT trial in the second quarter of 2026, adding to positive investor sentiment. Wall Street analysts maintain a bullish stance, with a median 12-month price target of $25.00, representing significant upside potential from recent closing levels.
