Answer

The press release you quoted does not contain any figures or statements about the projected incremental earnings‑per‑share (EPS) impact that Verastim Oncology expects from the launch of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO‑PACK (the newly FDA‑approved KRAS‑mutated low‑grade serous ovarian‑cancer therapy).

Why the EPS impact isn’t disclosed in the excerpt

Possible reasons the EPS impact is missing	Explanation
Focus on regulatory milestone	The announcement emphasizes the historic FDA approval (“first‑ever treatment approved for KRAS‑mutated recurrent low‑grade serous ovarian cancer”) rather than financial guidance.
Timing of the release	The drug was just approved in Q2 2025; detailed revenue and profit forecasts often follow later, after the company has a clearer sense of market uptake, pricing, and manufacturing scale‑up.
Company’s reporting policy	Many biopharma firms separate “business updates” (e.g., regulatory news, partnership announcements) from “financial guidance” and only provide EPS projections in a dedicated earnings‑release or investor‑presentation.
Potential confidentiality	Early‑stage commercial projections can be considered “forward‑looking” and may be withheld until the next earnings call or SEC filing to avoid inadvertent disclosure of material non‑public information.

What you can do next

Check Verastim Oncology’s full Q2 2025 earnings release – The complete filing (often posted on the company’s investor‑relations website or on the SEC’s EDGAR system) typically includes a “Management Discussion & Analysis” (MD&A) section where the company may outline the expected contribution of a newly launched product to earnings.
Listen to the subsequent earnings call/webcast – Companies often provide more granular guidance (including incremental EPS) during the call, especially when a product launch is a major revenue driver.
Monitor later updates – If the company issues a “2025 Outlook” or “2026 Guidance” update, it may incorporate the anticipated impact of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO‑PACK on EPS at that time.

Bottom line

Based solely on the information you provided, there is no disclosed projection for the incremental EPS impact of the new drug launch. To obtain that figure, you’ll need to locate Verastim Oncology’s complete earnings release, subsequent investor presentations, or the transcript of the next earnings call where management may discuss the financial contribution of AVMAPKI FAKZYNJA CO‑PACK.
