Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 04 | Q3 2025 earnings | Positive | -3.0% | Q3 revenue growth, royalty sale to OMERS, guidance reaffirmed. |
| Aug 05 | Q2 2025 earnings | Positive | -3.0% | Q2 revenue up 13% YoY and 2025 guidance reaffirmed. |
| May 06 | Q1 2025 earnings | Positive | -4.7% | Q1 revenue up 28% YoY with improving net loss and strong pipeline. |
| Feb 13 | FY 2024 earnings | Positive | -2.4% | 2024 revenue up 29% and 2025 guidance raised, losses still large. |

Recent earnings reports with revenue growth and reaffirmed guidance have often been met with negative share-price reactions.
Over the last five earnings events from Nov 2024 through Nov 2025, Ultragenyx consistently reported double‑digit revenue growth, led by Crysvita and Dojolvi, and repeatedly reaffirmed full‑year guidance and a path to profitability around 2027. Despite this, shares typically moved lower by a few percent after results. Today’s 2025 results, guidance for $730–$760M 2026 revenue, and a restructuring to cut expenses fit into this pattern of solid growth but cautious market reactions.
Historical Comparison
Across the last five earnings releases, RARE’s average move was -3.25%, showing a pattern of cautious reactions to otherwise solid growth updates.
Earnings updates show steady revenue growth led by Crysvita and Dojolvi, repeated guidance reaffirmations, and a continuing narrative toward targeted profitability around 2027.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock is down -6.0% following this news. A negative reaction despite revenue rising to $673 million and 2026 guidance of $730–$760 million would fit the pattern of past earnings, where the average move was -3.25%. Concerns can center on the sizeable $575 million annual net loss and dependence on successful approvals and restructuring to reach the 2027 profitability target. Any sharp downside could also reflect skepticism about execution risk and regulatory timelines rather than the current revenue trend alone.

Strategic restructuring plan and path to profitability in 2027
Ultragenyx has initiated a strategic restructuring plan designed to reduce its headcount and expenses and focus resources on its largest value drivers. The significant reduction and partial reinvestment of expenses, and the planned growth in revenue from current and new product launches, are designed to keep the company on its path to profitability in 2027.
Today, in connection with the restructuring plan, the company announced a
Based on the progression of the business and the reductions from the restructuring plan:
- In 2026, combined R&D and SG&A expenses are expected to be flat to down low-single digits versus 2025. This includes the impact of spend reductions and approximately
$50 million for severance, manufacturing, and other non-recurring restructuring charges. - In 2027, R&D expenses are expected to decrease from 2025 levels by
38% , or approximately$280 million , driven by the completion of multiple phase 3 studies and reduction of early-stage research efforts. SG&A expenses are expected to increase in support of new product launches and existing approved products. On a combined basis, 2027 R&D and SG&A expenses are expected to decrease at least15% versus 2025.
2026 Clinical and Regulatory Catalysts
- DTX401 (pariglasgene brecaparvovec) AAV8 gene therapy for glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSDIa): Biologics License Application (BLA) rolling submission completed in December 2025, with an anticipated Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date in the third quarter of 2026.

Earlier today the company received an Incomplete Response Letter (IRL) regarding its resubmitted BLA. The IRL requests additional supportive documentation related to its CRL CMC responses, which the company will provide in a resubmission.
- GTX-102 (apazunersen) antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) for the treatment of Angelman syndrome (AS): Data from the fully enrolled, pivotal, Phase 3 Aspire study in patients with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of UBE3A deletion is expected in the second half of 2026.

- UX701 (rivunatpagene miziparvovec) AAV9 gene therapy for Wilson disease: Enrollment is complete for the fourth cohort in the ongoing, dose-finding stage of the pivotal Cyprus2+ study. Data from this stage are expected in 2026.
