Schrodinger Q1 Revenue Beats Estimates, Drug Discovery Revenue Doubles
summarizeSummary
Schrodinger reported Q1 revenue of $58.59 million, significantly beating analyst estimates of $48.003 million, despite a 2% year-over-year decline. The overall revenue fall was attributed to a planned 21% decrease in software revenue due to an accelerated transition to hosted licensing, which was offset by drug discovery revenue more than doubling. The company also maintained its 2026 ACV guidance, projecting a 10-15% increase over 2025. This strong beat on revenue and robust growth in the drug discovery segment, a key strategic area, indicates underlying operational strength and successful execution of its business model transition, which is likely to be viewed favorably by investors. Traders will be watching the continued progress of the software licensing transition and further developments in its drug discovery collaborations.
