NasdaqGS:MGNX Earnings & Revenue History as at Mar 2026

Losses Still Large At US$74.6 Million Over The Year

  • On a trailing twelve month basis to Q4 2025, MacroGenics booked a net loss of US$74.6 million on US$149.5 million of revenue, with full year basic EPS at a loss of US$1.18.
  • Critics highlight that analysts expect earnings to decline about 17.4% per year over the next three years, and the current loss profile keeps that bearish concern in play:
    • The company has been unprofitable across the last twelve months, consistent with the view that near term profitability is unlikely.
    • At the same time, bears focus on rising research and development spend and ongoing losses as signs that funding needs could stay significant if revenue continues to trend down.
MacroGenics' current loss run rate and forecasts for further earnings declines are exactly what skeptics are focused on, and they outline how this could limit the long term payoff for shareholders. 🐻 MacroGenics Bear Case

Revenue Swings And LTM Decline To US$149.5 Million

  • Trailing twelve month revenue has moved to US$149.5 million by Q4 2025 compared with US$165.5 million at Q2 2025 and US$149.96 million at Q4 2024, while quarterly revenue ranged from US$13.2 million to US$110.7 million over the last six quarters.
  • Supporters argue that this choppy revenue line sits beside a five year trend of losses narrowing about 25% per year, which they see as building a bullish case:
    • Revenue is expected to decline about 6.6% per year over the next three years, yet bulls point to past progress in reducing losses as evidence the cost base can be managed.
    • They also flag that new trials like LORIKEET and LINNET could, if successful, help make better use of this revenue base even if sales are not growing rapidly in the near term.
For investors who think the pipeline can eventually turn this uneven revenue into a more efficient business, the existing loss reduction trend is a key part of the bullish story. 🐂 MacroGenics Bull Case

P/S Of 1.5x Sits Well Below Biotech Peers

  • MacroGenics trades on a P/S of about 1.5x, compared with 12.3x for the US biotech industry and 19.2x for its peer group, while the current share price is US$3.43 and analysts’ consensus price target is US$3.60.
  • Consensus narrative notes that this low sales multiple and the long term reduction in losses can be read together with the cautious revenue outlook, rather than in isolation:
    • Revenue is expected to decline around 20% per year over the next three years, which helps explain why the market assigns a much lower multiple than industry averages.
    • At the same time, the five year track record of shrinking losses and a consensus target slightly above the current price show that some analysts still see room for improvement if the pipeline delivers.
