Analysis · RGNX · Life Sciences
A $100 million milestone payment from AbbVie transformed the quarter, driving net income to $22.7 million and reversing a year-ago loss. Combined with a $108 million equity raise in July, pro forma cash now exceeds $310 million, funding operations into Q4 2027. The balance sheet is materially de-risked, and multiple near-term catalysts are set: the Duchenne gene therapy BLA submission remains on track for Q3 2026, with pivotal wet AMD data due in Q4 2026.
