Absci is trading 5.18% down now at $8.97 as investors continue digesting the August 11 earnings report and its disappointment.
- Q2 revenue was $0.3 million versus approximately $1.01 million expected; the $0.21 per-share loss exceeded the $0.19 forecast.
- The report initially triggered a 17.43% after-hours decline, despite positive ABS-201 data, Eli Lillyβs $40 million investment, and cash runway extending into late 2028.
- The broader market is modestly weaker, but the earnings disappointment is the clearest catalyst.
