Executive Summary

CRISPR Therapeutics reported Q1 2026 EPS of -$1.28, missing consensus of -$1.14 by 12.3%. Total revenue of $1.5M was up 69% YoY but still minimal. Net loss narrowed to $122.9M from $136.0M a year ago. CASGEVY generated $43M in global revenue (100% to Vertex; CRISPR's 40% share is netted in collaboration expense). No formal guidance was provided.

Actionable Insight

The EPS miss may weigh on shares near term. Focus on CASGEVY patient initiation momentum (64 patients infused in 2025) and upcoming pipeline catalysts in H2 2026 (zugo-cel data, CTX310/340 trial starts). The strong balance sheet supports the pipeline but does not erase the earnings disappointment.

Key Facts

  • Q1 2026 EPS: -$1.28 vs consensus -$1.14 (12.3% miss)
  • Total revenue: $1.5M (up 69% YoY from $0.9M)
  • Net loss: -$122.9M vs -$136.0M in Q1 2025 (improved 9.6%)
  • CASGEVY global revenue: $43M; 40% profit share to CRISPR (netted in collaboration expense)
  • Cash & marketable securities: $2.44B (up from $1.98B at Dec 2025, boosted by $585M convertible note issuance)
  • Pipeline progress: multiple Phase 1/2 trials advancing; FDA cleared IND for zugo-cel in autoimmune neurology

Financial Impact

EPS miss of $0.14 per share vs consensus; quarterly net cash burn ~$122.9M

Risk Factors

  • Continued high R&D spend without near-term profitability
  • Dependence on Vertex for CASGEVY commercialization
  • Clinical trial risks across multiple early-stage programs
  • Potential dilution from convertible notes (if converted)
