On July 30, Corcept Therapeutics rose 18.34% in after-hours trading, trading at $110.08/share, with turnover of $8.8785 million.
The surge was driven by the company's Q2 earnings release, which massively exceeded market expectations. Corcept reported earnings per share of $0.36, far surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of $0.00, representing a 24.14% year-over-year increase from $0.29 per share in the prior-year period. Revenue came in at $256.147 million, beating the Street estimate of $219.988 million by approximately 16.4%.
The strong outperformance was primarily attributed to the continued commercial momentum of its core product Korlym and the successful commercialization of newly approved drug Lifyorli. Additionally, the company resubmitted its New Drug Application for Relacorilant for the treatment of Cushing's syndrome in June, with multiple pipeline programs advancing smoothly, further boosting investor confidence in the company's growth trajectory.
