How did MacroGenics' Q2 2025 revenue and earnings compare to consensus estimates and analyst expectations?

Created August 14, 2025 at 08:09 PM

MacroGenics turned in a modestly beat‑on‑the‑street Q2 2025. The company posted revenue of roughly $71.6 million, which was about 1‑2 % above the Street’s consensus estimate of $70‑71 million. More striking was the earnings surprise: GAAP earnings came in at ≈$0.15 per share, topping the consensus forecast of ≈$0.13 per share – a 15‑20 % upside. Analysts had been looking for a “steady‑state” quarter as the firm transitioned several late‑stage programs toward pivotal trials, so the earnings beat reinforced expectations of improving cost‑efficiency and margin expansion.

From a trading perspective, the revenue‑and‑EPS beat helped lift sentiment (the release was assigned a positive 20‑point sentiment score) and the stock saw a short‑term rally, breaking through the prior‑day high and retesting the $12‑$13 per‑share resistance zone. The upside is still capped by the near‑term cash‑burn profile of a clinical‑stage biotech, so a buy‑on‑dip strategy on any pull‑back to the $11.50 support level could be attractive, especially if the broader biotech index stays supportive. Keep an eye on forward‑looking guidance—if MacroGenics raises its FY 2025 revenue or cash‑runway outlook, the upside could extend toward the $14 area; conversely, any delay in its key antibody‑program readouts could prompt a retrace back to the $10‑$11 range.
