Analysis · XRTX · Life Sciences
XORTX's interim financials reveal a $2.5 million net loss for the first half of 2026, a cash balance under $1 million, and a going concern warning. The company also disclosed a material weakness in internal controls. With a monthly burn of roughly $296,000, the current cash runway is only about three months, making additional financing critical.
