Shares of Pyxis Oncology declined after the company logged a steeper first-quarter loss, narrowly missing Wall Street's expectations.

The stock slid 15% to $2.24 on Thursday. Shares have surged 94% year to date.

The company, which is developing cancer treatments, posted a loss of $23.3 million, or 37 cents a share, compared with a loss of $21.2 million, or 35 cents a share, a year earlier. Analysts polled by FactSet expected a loss of 36 cents a share.

The company said it expects milestones for its lead candidate, micvotabart pelidotin, this year, and remains on track to share updated monotherapy data in the middle of 2026 as well as updated combination data in the second half of the year.

Micvotabart pelidotin is designed to treat solid tumors, targeting a component of the tumor extracellular matrix.

The company expects to have cash runway into the fourth quarter.
