On July 30, Glaukos rose 9.49% in pre-market trading, trading at $177.0 per share. The stock surged after the company reported second-quarter results that far exceeded market expectations on both revenue and guidance fronts.
Specifically, Glaukos posted Q2 sales of $185.6 million, approximately 23% above the Wall Street consensus estimate of $150.9 million. Adjusted loss per share came in at $0.14, significantly better than the expected loss of $0.22, representing a 41.67% improvement from the year-ago loss of $0.24. Additionally, the company raised its full-year sales guidance to $680 million to $700 million, far surpassing the prior FactSet consensus of $630 million.
This marks the second consecutive quarter of substantial revenue outperformance, following Q1 sales of $150.6 million that also beat the $137 million estimate. On the institutional front, Truist raised its price target to $180 from $160 while maintaining a Buy rating, and Needham has also issued multiple target price increases, reflecting broadly bullish sentiment despite UBS recently downgrading the stock to Neutral.
