Tango Therapeutics, Inc. (TNGX)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q3 revenue surged to $53.8M, driven by recognition of all remaining deferred revenue from the Gilead collaboration upon truncation of the research term; this flipped results to net income of $15.9M and $0.14 basic EPS (vs. Q2: $3.2M revenue and $(0.35) EPS), a one-time dynamic rather than an operational inflection .
  • Clinical momentum: vopimetostat (TNG462) delivered mPFS 7.2 months in 2L MTAP-del pancreatic cancer and 49% ORR with mPFS 9.1 months in a histology-selective cohort, supporting a 2026 pivotal start and strengthening the best-in-class narrative .
  • Balance sheet extended: $225M gross proceeds in October plus $152.8M cash/marketable at Q3-end extend cash runway into 2028, providing funding through key 2026 data milestones .
  • TNG456 received FDA Orphan Drug Designation for malignant glioma; TNG260 showed early proof-of-concept in a prespecified STK11mut/KRAS WT NSCLC subgroup (mPFS 27 weeks), with SITC presentation slated for Nov 7, 2025 .
  • No S&P Global (SPGI) consensus for revenue/EPS was available via our tool for Q3; focus turns to 2026 catalysts (pivotal start, combination readouts) as potential stock drivers [functions.GetEstimates returned no data].

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • One-time revenue recognition from the Gilead collaboration (truncated research term) lifted total Q3 revenue to $53.8M and produced positive EPS ($0.14 basic; $0.13 diluted), improving optics and funding flexibility .
  • Vopimetostat efficacy: 2L pancreatic mPFS of 7.2 months and 49% ORR with mPFS 9.1 months in the histology-selective cohort bolster the best-in-class thesis and justify a 2026 pivotal start; CEO emphasized “significant momentum” and potential for a “turning point” in difficult cancers .
  • Capital strength: $225M gross proceeds in October 2025 extend runway into 2028, de-risking execution through anticipated 2026 readouts and pivotal initiation .

What Went Wrong

  • Quality-of-revenue optics: Q3 uplift was primarily a non-recurring accounting event (recognition of deferred Gilead collaboration revenue), not a durable commercialization trend .
  • TNG260 mixed signal: while early POC emerged in a prespecified STK11mut/KRAS WT NSCLC subgroup, there was “no evidence of activity” in other STK11 mutant cancers, focusing value on a narrower segment .
  • Histology-agnostic dataset excluded sarcoma due to no activity (0/9 responses), underscoring tumor-type variability and the importance of indication selection .

Management Commentary

  • “We are wrapping up 2025 with significant momentum…supporting the potential of [vopimetostat] to be a turning point for treatment of multiple difficult-to-treat MTAP-del cancers, beginning with pancreatic cancer…our recent $225 million financing…extends our cash runway into 2028.” – Barbara Weber, M.D., President & CEO .
  • “All remaining deferred revenue from the upfront and research option-extension payments under the Gilead collaboration were recognized…as a result of the truncation…no licensed programs were returned…all ongoing work at Gilead…will continue and agreements for all future milestones and royalties remain in effect.” .
  • “In [the STK11mut/KRAS WT NSCLC] group (n=5), the mPFS was 27 weeks…There was no evidence of activity in other STK11 mutant cancers.” .
  • “The data demonstrated a potentially best-in-class safety and tolerability profile at 250 mg QD…There were no drug-related dose discontinuations and ~8% dose reduction rate.” .

Q&A Highlights

  • No Q3 2025 earnings call transcript was available in our document set; the company did host an October 23, 2025 webcast focused on vopimetostat data, but no Q3 results Q&A transcript was found for review .

Estimates Context

  • S&P Global (SPGI) consensus for quarterly revenue and EPS for TNGX was unavailable via our tool for Q3 2025 (and the prior two quarters), so we cannot assess beat/miss relative to Street expectations at this time [functions.GetEstimates returned no data].

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Q3 profitability was accounting-driven: full recognition of deferred Gilead revenue (research truncation) created a one-time P&L uplift; durable value still hinges on clinical execution rather than recurring revenue .
  • Clinical risk/reward improved: vopimetostat’s 2L pancreatic mPFS (7.2 months) and histology-cohort ORR (49%) support a 2026 pivotal, with a clean tolerability profile at 250 mg QD .
  • Funding runway into 2028 meaningfully de-risks the path through 2026 data/catalysts (pivotal initiation; combination readouts), reducing near-term financing overhang .
  • TNG260 value is more concentrated: early efficacy signal in prespecified STK11mut/KRAS WT NSCLC subgroup but no signal outside that group; SITC data to refine scope .
  • 2026 is the catalyst year: combination data (vopimetostat + RAS(ON)) and monotherapy lung update are targeted for 2026, alongside pivotal start in pancreatic cancer .
  • Partnership optionality persists: Gilead retains programs and milestones/royalties remain, preserving potential non-dilutive upside despite research truncation .
  • Near-term trading setup: stock likely trades on clinical narrative (pivotal design/regs, SITC follow-through) and confidence in best-in-class positioning for PRMT5, rather than quarterly revenue prints .
