Executive Summary

Keros Therapeutics reported Q1 2026 EPS of -$1.21, a 31.5% miss vs consensus of -$0.92, and revenue of $0.367M, 78.4% below the $1.7M estimate. The net loss of $23.7M compares to net income of $148.5M in Q1 2025, driven by the absence of Takeda license revenue and reduced R&D spend. Cash runway extends into H1 2028, but the revenue collapse and EPS miss signal a pre-commercial biotech with no near-term catalysts beyond Takeda's Phase 3 plans.

Actionable Insight

The revenue collapse and EPS miss confirm Keros is a pre-revenue clinical-stage biotech with no approved products. The Takeda partnership provides a potential catalyst but no near-term revenue. Monitor for elritercept Phase 3 data and any pipeline updates; the cash runway provides a floor but the stock is likely to trade on binary trial outcomes.
