Key Takeaways for Investors
- BRUKINSA momentum is the engine: robust U.S. and accelerating EU demand, coupled with regulatory/formulation wins, underpin near-term growth and margin expansion .
- Mix and productivity are driving margins higher: gross margin outlook raised to mid-to-high 80% for FY25; expect estimate revisions to reflect improved profitability profile .
- Guidance quality improved: revenue range tightened at the high end and FCF targeted positive for FY25; expense discipline maintained despite pipeline breadth .
- Pipeline catalysts in 2H25: sonrotoclax Phase 2 readout and potential accelerated filings (R/R MCL), BGB-16673 Phase 3 initiations/head-to-head, TEVIMBRA EU/US label expansions — multiple stock-moving events ahead .
- Cash and equity strengthened: cash rose to $2.786B; total equity to $3.770B, providing funding for R&D and commercialization without near-term balance sheet strain .
- Non-GAAP earnings leverage is material: adjusted diluted EPS per ADS of $2.25 in Q2 highlights operating leverage with share-based comp, D&A excluded; watch non-GAAP trajectory as margin tailwinds persist .
- Risk watch: spending needs remain elevated; regulatory/timing risks for pivotal programs; tax/discrete items can impact reported EPS .
