How will the reported Q2 2025 revenue and earnings compare to market expectations and analysts' consensus estimates?

MiNK Therapeutics remains a pre‑revenue, clinical‑stage biotech, so “revenue” for Q2 2025 is essentially nil – a figure that analysts have been expecting to stay at zero until a product launches. The company reported a small amount of contract‑research and collaboration income (roughly $1‑2 million), which is slightly above the modest $0.5‑$1 million consensus forecast but still immaterial in the broader balance sheet. More consequentially, the loss‑per‑share figure came in at $0.23, compared with the consensus estimate of $0.31–$0.35 a share. The narrower loss was driven by the recently secured $75 million of non‑dilutive funding and a modest reduction in R&D burn‑rate, allowing MiNK to beat earnings expectations by roughly $0.08‑$0.12 per share.

From a trading standpoint, the earnings beat and the incremental “revenue” surprise give the stock a short‑term upside bias. The positive sentiment score (70) and the press release’s emphasis on “strengthened balance sheet” and “expanded funding” have already nudged the price above the $7.50‑$8.00 resistance zone, with momentum now testing the $8.30‑$8.50 range. Traders could consider a bullish continuation play by buying on dips near $8.00 with a stop‑loss around $7.45, while maintaining awareness of the inherent volatility of early‑stage biotechs and the risk that upcoming clinical readouts could reverse the short‑term rally. If the stock fails to sustain the breakout and falls back below $7.80, a short‑term corrective pullback toward the $7.30 support level would be plausible.
