OPKO Health (OPK) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
OPKO Health, Inc. (OPK - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2020 results on Jul 30, after the closing bell.
Q2 Estimates
Currently, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues is pegged at $234.6 million, suggesting growth of 3.6% from the year-ago reported figure. The consensus mark for second-quarter 2020 bottom line stands at a loss of 7 cents per share.
Key Catalysts
Higher revenues from Products segment are likely to get reflected in OPKO Health’s second-quarter revenues.
The company might have benefited from strong performance in RAYALDEE — its leading renal product — in the to-be-reported quarter. Moreover, increase in total RAYALDEE prescriptions may have contributed to the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
Further, the company’s second-quarter performance is likely to reflect OPKO Health’s BioReference Laboratories’ sustained progress. In fact, BioReference Laboratories’ collaborations with the numerous states, cities and healthcare systems, including state of New Jersey, City of Detroit and City of Miami and other cities with respect to offering testing for COVID-19 are expected to have positively impacted the company’s performance in the quarter to be reported.
In May, BioReference Laboratories collaborated with MagnaCare — a division of Brighton Health Plans Solutions, LLC — to offer COVID-19 antibody testing to Labor clients in the New York metropolitan area. With this antibody testing, Labor groups in the area will be able to gather information and take decisions regarding back-to-work procedures and safety measures for the protection of workers and public.
In June, the FDA authorized OPKO Health to undertake a Phase 2 trial with RAYALDEE as a treatment for patients possessing mild-to-moderate COVID-19.
These developments are likely to have positively impacted the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Additionally, per management, OPKO Health will continue to make solid investments in R&D programs throughout 2020. The company is likely to have gained from such investments in the quarter to be reported.
However, higher operating losses might weigh on the company’s second-quarter performance.
