Shares of Glaukos (GKOS) plunged 13.2% in the pre-market trading session on Friday, February 21, 2025, as the medical technology firm reported a wider-than-expected net loss for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Glaukos posted a net loss of $22.2 million for the quarter, larger than the Wall Street estimate of a $20.8 million loss. While the company recorded revenue of $105.5 million, slightly above expectations of $100.7 million, the larger-than-anticipated loss appears to have spooked investors, leading to the significant stock decline.
Additionally, Glaukos forecasted full-year 2025 sales in the range of $475 million to $485 million, compared to the consensus estimate of $479.8 million. The company's lead product is the iStent inject W, a device used to treat glaucoma, an eye condition that damages the optic nerve.
