Quanterix reported Q2 revenue of $32.9 million, up 34% year-over-year but well short of expectations, and slashed its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $142–148 million from $169–174 million. The company also pushed its cash flow breakeven target to 2027 from the second half of 2026 and now expects to exit the year with about $80 million in cash, down from $100 million previously. A $26.9 million goodwill impairment tied to the Akoya acquisition further weighed on GAAP results. On the operational side, the appointment of Jim Gute as Chief Commercial Officer signals a push to fix commercial execution, but the guidance cut and delayed profitability timeline are the dominant headlines.
