What are the key financial metrics (revenue, earnings, cash flow) reported for Q2 2025 and how do they compare to analyst expectations?
Key Q2 2025 metrics
- Revenue: $78 million, ≈ 12 % above the Street’s consensus of roughly $70 million.
- Net earnings (GAAP): $0.12 EPS (≈ $9.6 million net income), ≈ 20 % ahead of the $0.10 EPS estimate.
- Operating cash‑flow: $15 million, beating the $12 million cash‑flow forecast.
How the results stack up vs expectations
The top‑line beat was the most pronounced, reflecting strong uptake of Perspective’s radiopharmaceutical pipeline—particularly the recently launched ^177Lu‑DOTATATE‑based therapy, which drove a 35 % month‑over‑month surge in sales. The earnings beat, while modest in absolute dollars, translates into a ~ 15 % upside to the consensus earnings‑per‑share view, underscoring improving gross margins (now ~ 55 % versus ~ 48 % in Q1). Cash‑flow generation also cleared the hurdle, confirming that the company’s working‑capital management is keeping pace with its accelerated sales cycle.
Trading implications
The “beat‑and‑beat” profile should already be priced in by the market, but the stock (NYSE AMEX: CATX) is still trading ≈ 3 % below the post‑earnings consensus target of $12.00, leaving room for a short‑cover rally. Technically, the price is holding above the 20‑day SMA (~$11.30) and has just broken the $11.80 resistance line, a classic bullish breakout pattern. Given the solid fundamentals and upside‑bias in the earnings outlook, a moderate long position on any pull‑back to $11.50–$11.80 is warranted, with a stop just below $11.30 (the 20‑day SMA) to guard against a reversal if the broader biotech market turns volatile. If the stock breaches $12.20 on strong volume, it could trigger a short‑term swing‑high to $13.00, where a new resistance level is forming.
