Read MoreHide Full Article

It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Theravance Biopharma (TBPH - Free Report) . Shares have added about 0.8% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.

But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Theravance Bio due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.

Theravance's Q2 Earnings Meet Estimates, Revenues Beat Marginally

Theravance reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 19 cents per share, matching the Zacks Consensus Estimate. In the year-ago quarter, the company had incurred an adjusted loss of 8 cents per share.

Total revenues in the quarter were $20.7 million, marginally beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $20 million. In the absence of any licensing and milestone revenues, total revenues declined nearly 21% year over year.

Quarter in Detail

Theravance’s top line consisted solely of collaboration revenues from partner Viatris tied to Yupelri (revefenacin) sales in the United States and rose 11% year over year, driven by continued net sales growth of Yupelri and improved operating leverage.

Research and development expenses (excluding share-based compensation) totaled $4.2 million, down 56.4% from the year-ago quarter’s level, driven by cost savings from the restructuring announced in March and the ongoing wind-down of the CYPRESS study on its lead candidate, ampreloxetine.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding share-based compensation) declined 28.7% year over year to $10.6 million due to cost-cutting initiatives from the restructuring announced in March.

As of June 30, 2026, Theravance had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities worth $387.7 million compared with $394.7 million as of March 31, 2026.
