When does AURA report earnings, and what happens after?

Expected to report Thu Nov 12, before the open (in 10 days). Expected.

What an earnings report is: every 3 months, a company tells everyone how much it sold and earned. We read the figures, the outlook, and how the stock moved after.

What AURA reported on Aug 11, 2026

The quarter

The figures are not read from the release yet.

“Research and development expenses increased to $30.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $22.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to ongoing clinical and CRO costs associated with the progression of the CoMpass global Phase 3 trial of bel-sar in early choroidal melanoma and manufacturing and development costs for bel-sar.”

The filing on EDGAR

Where the sales came from

AURA's results filing gives no sales by line in a table we read.

The outlook

No outlook figures read from this release.

In the company's words

  • “The increase was primarily driven by increased stock-based compensation expense resulting from equity award modifications in connection with executive leadership transitions, as well as higher professional fees.”
