Shares for CorMedix fell after the biopharmaceutical company guided for a potential decline in revenue in 2026.
The stock was down 35%, at $7.26, midday Thursday, on pace for its worst percentage decrease since March 2025.
CorMedix on Thursday guided for revenue between $300 million and $320 million for fiscal 2026, compared with $310 million in net revenue for fiscal 2025, according to the company's unaudited preliminary results. Analysts polled FactSet expected $312.9 million for fiscal 2025 and $423.3 million for 2026.
The Berkeley Heights, N.J., company said it expects the level of reimbursement to institutions treating dialysis patients to significantly decline on July 1, as calculated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The new math would lead to a reduction in net pricing for the company's catheter lock, DefenCath, in the third and fourth quarters.
"If CMS utilizes the same methodology to calculate" an add-on adjustment for DefenCath after Jan. 1, 2027, the company expects higher DefenCath sales prices next year compared with the second half of 2026.
