Clene's Q2 2026 report reveals a going concern warning — the company expects to run out of cash within 12 months without new financing. The net loss of $21.5 million was driven by $14.1 million in non-cash fair value losses on warrant and derivative liabilities, which are mark-to-market adjustments tied to the stock price, not cash outflows. The company also disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls, adding governance risk. Cash stands at $9.7 million, and the company raised $13 million in the first half of 2026, but that may not be enough to sustain operations.
