Revenue Acceleration/Inflection

Novocure's glioblastoma (GBM) business has an annual run rate exceeding $600 million and provides mid-single-digit top-line growth, forming a stable financial base.
The company is transitioning to a multi-indication oncology company, expecting to have four products on the market by the end of 2026, including current offerings for GBM and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Upcoming product launches in 2026 are anticipated for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (showing a two-month overall survival benefit and six-month pain-free survival extension) and brain metastases from NSCLC.
The launch of Optune Lua for NSCLC is proving challenging, with 100 patients on therapy at the end of Q3 and the product not being included in recent NCCN guidelines updates.
Novocure has invested $1 billion in R&D over the past five years, with key pipeline catalysts including data readouts for Panova IV (metastatic pancreatic cancer) in Q1 next year and the Trident trial (newly diagnosed GBM).
