Analysis · CGON · Life Sciences
A 74% surge in R&D spending pushed CG Oncology's Q2 net loss to $79.1 million from $41.4 million a year ago, as the company races toward a BLA submission for cretostimogene in Q4 2026. While the quarter ended with $1.03 billion in cash, the firm simultaneously upsized its at-the-market equity program by $500 million to $1.05 billion — a move that signals heavy capital needs ahead of potential commercialization. The ATM expansion, disclosed as a subsequent event, adds significant dilution risk for existing shareholders.
