Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Raised 2026 revenue and net income guidance based on increased NERLYNX demand, with FY 2026 expected to mark the second consecutive year-over-year NERLYNX demand increase in the U.S.
  • New prescriptions were up approximately 25% versus Q4 2025, with better-than-expected enrollments and new patient starts and strong increases in sales to specialty distributors.
  • Operating cash flow of $15.4 million in Q1 2026 versus $3.6 million in Q1 2025, with cash, equivalents and marketable securities rising to $101.5 million and total debt reduced to $11.3 million (and to zero after the May 4, 2026 final payment under the 2021 Note Purchase Agreement).
  • Interim ALISCA-Lung1 data at the 60 mg BID dose showed median PFS of 4.2 months versus 1.7 months at 50 mg BID, with grade 3+ neutropenia of 11.1% (60 mg) and 13.5% (50 mg) under mandatory prophylactic G-CSF.
  • Alisertib program advancing with planned H2 2026 enrollment expansions of ALISCA-Breast1 and ALISCA-Lung1 and Q4 2026 updated Breast1 data, with management indicating 'all systems go' toward Phase III.

Risks & pressure points

  • NERLYNX product revenue of $42.0 million declined from $59.9 million in Q4 2025 and from $43.1 million in Q1 2025, and Q1 2026 included an estimated $7.9 million of inventory drawdown at specialty pharmacies and distributors.
  • Royalty revenue fell to $2.8 million from $15.6 million in Q4 2025, with bottles sold declining to 2,328 from 3,298 and inventory decreasing by an estimated 439 bottles in Q1 2026.
  • Total prescriptions were down approximately 4% versus Q4 2025 and Puma swung to a GAAP net loss of $3.8 million ($0.07 per share) and a non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $1.9 million ($0.04 per share) in Q1 2026, versus net income of $3.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively, in Q1 2025.
  • Alisertib interim efficacy remains modest: in 52 patients at 50 mg BID the objective response rate was 11.5% (6 partial responses), and in the first 15 patients at 60 mg BID the response rate was 6.7% (1 partial response), with management cautioning data are still early.
