CRSP CRISPR Therapeutics AG
Price Chart
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.
