Results Q2 2026 vs Q1 2026 · previous quarter · published 13 Aug 2026 and 13 May 2026

Net loss widened on the previous quarter. Management sounded restrained, in its script and in answers to analysts.

1 · Numbers

Loss widened

Net income vs Q1 2026

Net income -20.2M vs -17.1M

Revenue +30.5%

Why Against the same quarter last year (turned to a loss), net income decreased because the first quarter of 2026 included a one-time upfront cost of $7 million for in-licensing ABO-701, while research and development expenses were lower in the second quarter.

2 · How management spoke

Restrained

Less upbeat than 69% of company calls

Answers to analysts: cautious, in line with the script.

Similar to last call.

3 · What stood out

Abeona Therapeutics expanded its QTC network so that 40% of its addressable market now has in-state access to a QTC based on claims analysis.

Valuation

Reverse DCF. Free cash flow from the last full fiscal year, grown for 10 years, discounted back, plus a terminal value. “Implied growth” is the rate the current price assumes.

Valuation unavailable: inputs look inconsistent (market value only 1.8x the net income: another reporting currency or a one-off gain).
