Iovance Biotherapeutics Misses Q1 Profit Estimates, Operating Income Falls Short

The company posted an operating income of -$81.043 million, falling short of the IBES estimate of -$66.7 million. Similarly, pretax profit and net income also missed estimates, indicating a weaker-than-expected financial performance for the quarter.

Traders will be watching for management commentary on the drivers of these misses and any revised outlook.
