Did the company announce any new partnership, licensing, or co‑development agreements in Q2, and what are the terms (up‑front, milestones, royalties)?

Answer to the specific question:

No, the Pulse Biosciences Q2‑2025 update does not disclose any new partnership, licensing, or co‑development agreement. The release focuses on operational progress—expanding the soft‑tissue ablation pilot, continuing the benign thyroid‑nodule study, and reporting the quarter’s financials. Because no such arrangement was announced, there are no disclosed upfront fees, milestone payments, or royalty structures to disclose for the quarter.

Trading implications:

Without a fresh partnership or licensing deal, the market’s reaction to the earnings release will be driven primarily by the company’s operational metrics and the broader biotech/medical‑device sentiment. The expanded pilot and the accumulation of >140 treated thyroid‑nodule cases signal incremental adoption of the nanosecond PFA platform, which could help lift the stock if the data demonstrates clear clinical efficacy and a clear path to commercialization. Traders should watch the upcoming 12‑month “soft‑tissue ablation” study results, FDA submission timing, and any subsequent partnership announcements (e.g., with device manufacturers or pharma partners) that could unlock a new revenue stream. In the short term, the stock’s technical profile—still near its Q2‑2025 earnings‑release high and showing moderate volume—suggests a modest “buy‑the‑dip” opportunity for risk‑tolerant investors, but the trade is contingent on the company delivering tangible clinical data and a credible path to commercialization rather than on any new licensing revenue.
