Shares of Champions Oncology surged after the company swung to a profit and posted higher revenue in its fiscal first quarter.

The stock rose 30% to $5.30 in after-hours trading Wednesday. Shares ended the regular session up 3% to $4.07, putting them down 28% since the beginning of the year.

The Hackensack, N.J., biotechnology company, which provides end-to-end oncology solutions, posted net income of $1.3 million, or 9 cents a share, for its three months ended July 31, compared with a loss of $2.6 million, or 19 cents a share, in last year's quarter.

Adjusted per-share earnings were 11 cents.

Revenue rose 12% to $14.1 million, boosted by operational improvements and efficiencies that led to an increase in bookings-to-revenue conversion percentage.

Chief Executive Ronnie Morris said, "we're cautiously optimistic that we've weathered the worst of the business downturn, and we're poised to emerge leaner and stronger."
