SCYX Scynexis
Price Chart
Executive Summary
SCYNEXIS reported Q1 2026 results with a GAAP net loss of $0.42 per share, significantly wider than the consensus estimate of -$0.12, driven by a $8.0M IPR&D charge for the SCY-770 acquisition and a $5.2M warrant liability fair value adjustment. The company completed a $37.2M private placement and ended the quarter with $72.4M in cash, extending its runway to mid-2029, but the core operating loss more than doubled year-over-year with no revenue.
Actionable Insight
The significant EPS miss and widening operating losses are concerning, but the $72.4M cash runway to mid-2029 and upcoming SCY-770 Phase 2 catalyst in Q4 2026 provide a long development horizon. Monitor for topline Phase 1 IV data for SCY-247 in Q3 2026 and any GSK Brexafemme relaunch milestones that could trigger revenue.
