Shares of Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc. (EWTX) are surging in premarket trading on Tuesday, up over 9% after the biopharmaceutical company reported better-than-expected earnings results for the third quarter of 2024.
For the quarter ended September 30, Edgewise reported a loss of $0.36 per share, narrowly beating analyst expectations of a $0.37 per share loss. The company did not generate any revenue during the quarter, which was in line with forecasts.
