AI Brief

Q2 FY26 earnings call · Jul 29, 2026
Q2 FY26

TL;DR. Corcept reported Q2 revenue of $256.1 million (up 32% year-over-year) driven by a strong first quarter of Lifyorli availability ($47.6 million) and continued Korlym growth, and raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $1.1–$1.2 billion, with key clinical readouts (MONARCH MASH, DAZALS ALS, BELLA ovarian) expected by year-end.

Bullish
  • + Q2 revenue rose 32% year-over-year to $256.1 million, with $208.6 million from Korlym and $47.6 million from the first quarter of Lifyorli.
  • + Raised 2026 full-year revenue guidance to $1.1–$1.2 billion.
  • + Cushing's syndrome business posted a record number of new prescriptions, first-time prescribers, and patients on therapy.
  • + Cash and investments increased to $544.6 million at June 30, 2026, from $515.4 million at March 31, 2026.
Bearish
  • − Operating expenses jumped to $214.8 million in Q2 2026 from $167.8 million in Q2 2025, driven by Lifyorli launch costs and Cushing's investments.
  • − Relacorilant Cushing's syndrome NDA previously received a Complete Response Letter; approval is now pending the December 17, 2026 PDUFA.
  • − Dazucorilant ALS program saw discontinuations driven by non-serious GI distress, requiring a dose-titration study before the planned Phase 3.

Dividends per share over the trailing 365 days by ex-date · buyback figures as last reported in SEC filings ("spent" derived as authorized − remaining; when several programs run concurrently, authorized is their combined total per the newest filing) · components shown separately — trailing-year buyback spend isn't tracked, so no combined shareholder yield is derived.
