Recursion Pharmaceuticals to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Cards?

Recursion Pharmaceuticals RXRX, a TechBio company that decodes biology and chemistry to industrialize drug discovery, is expected to beat earnings when it reports second-quarter 2025 results on Aug. 5.The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at a loss of 35 cents per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues is pinned at $14.38 million.Let's see how things might have shaped up for the upcoming quarterly release.Factors to ConsiderIn the absence of a marketed product, Recursion Pharmaceuticals only recognizes collaboration and grant revenues from its partners.RXRX has ongoing collaboration agreements with pharmaceutical giants, such as Roche, Bayer, Merck and Sanofi to develop candidates for several oncology indications with differentiated mechanisms of action. The company also collaborated with NVIDIA Corporation, the global leader in visual computing technologies, to develop a next-generation platform for the creation of novel therapies.Recursion Pharmaceuticals is expected to provide updates regarding the clinical-stage pipeline programs on its second-quarter earnings call.The company faced a significant setback in May 2025 after announcing the discontinuation of three key drug candidates — REC-994, REC-2282, and REC-3964 — as part of its broader strategic pipeline reprioritization. These candidates were being developed for cerebral cavernous malformation, neurofibromatosis type II and Clostridioides difficile infection, respectively.RXRX shares have lost 16% year to date against the industry’s 0.5% growth.Image Source: Zacks Investment ResearchFollowing the terminations, Recursion Pharmaceuticals shifted focus to more promising candidates, notably REC-4881, which is being evaluated in a phase Ib/II TUPELO study for familial adenomatous polyposis. In May 2025, the company reported preliminary data from this study, with additional data expected in the second half of 2025.In 2024, Recursion Pharmaceuticals initiated its phase I/II DAHLIA study of REC-1245, a new chemical entity for the treatment of biomarker-enriched solid tumors and lymphoma. Data readout from the phase I portion of the DAHLIA study is expected in the first half of 2026. Recursion Pharmaceuticals is also developing a few other candidates, like REC-617 (advanced solid tumors) and REC-3565 (B-cell malignancies), in separate early-stage studies.In July 2025, Recursion Pharmaceuticals acquired Rallybio’s full stake in their joint venture for developing REV102 and an associated backup molecule for the treatment of hypophosphatasia. REV102, a potent and selective ENPP1 inhibitor with strong preclinical safety data, is expected to enter phase I studies by late 2026. Its oral formulation offers a major advantage over current enzyme replacement therapies, potentially improving patient adherence and reducing treatment-associated risks.RXRX’s Earnings Surprise HistoryRecursion Pharmaceuticals has a disappointing earnings surprise history so far.
