Geron shares fell 30% to $1.66 after the company reported a fourth-quarter loss that was wider than expected.
The biopharmaceutical company had a quarterly loss of $25.4 million, or 4 cents a share, compared with a loss of $52 million, or 9 cents a share, in the same quarter last year. Analysts polled by FactSet were looking for a loss of $12 million, or 2 cents a share.
Revenue for the quarter was $47.5 million, compared with last year's $23,000 and the $61.8 million analysts were expecting.
Geron expects to reach profitability without additional financing if current internal sales and operating expenses expectations are met. The company launched Rytelo, a telomerase inhibitor, at the end of June.
Geron had $502.9 million in cash and cash equivalents at Dec. 31.
For fiscal 2025, the company is looking for total operating expenses to be $270 million to $285 million.
