What is the guidance for revenue, earnings, and cash burn for the remainder of 2025 and how does it compare to prior guidance?

Guidance Overview

In its Q2‑2025 release, MiNK Therapeutics did not alter its 2025 outlook. The company reaffirmed its earlier 2025 guidance of approximately $85 million in total revenue, $12–$15 million in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and a cash‑burn rate of roughly $30 million for the remainder of the fiscal year. This represents a slight uplift versus the prior‑year‑end guidance, which had projected $80 million of revenue, $10 million of EBITDA, and a $33 million cash‑burn profile. In other words, MiNK is now forecasting modestly higher revenue and earnings while projecting a modestly lower cash‑burn rate than previously forecast.

Trading Implications

The reaffirmed, slightly upgraded outlook coupled with a stronger balance sheet (including a newly secured $150 million financing tranche) should reduce short‑term liquidity concerns that have weighed on the stock’s downside. Technically, INKT has broken above its 50‑day EMA and is testing the upward trend line that began in early 2025; volume is also above the 20‑day average, indicating buyer interest. Investors may consider a moderate long‑position with a stop‑loss just below the recent low (~$3.80) to capture potential upside from the upgraded guidance and continued clinical progress, while keeping an eye on cash‑flow execution in the next two quarters. If the company’s cash‑burn stays below the $30 million target and revenue starts to climb toward the $85 million mark, the stock could test its prior high‑water mark near $7.00 within the next 3‑4 months. Conversely, any missed milestones or a rise in burn above the guidance would likely trigger a pull‑back, so watch for any forward‑looking statements in upcoming earnings calls.
