ARGX Soars 116% in Volume to 365th Ranking as Earnings Anticipation Drives Volatility

On July 30, 2025, argenx (ARGX) recorded a trading volume of $340 million, marking a 116.03% increase from the previous day, ranking 365th in market activity. The stock closed nearly unchanged at 0.02% for the session.

Investor attention is focused on argenx’s upcoming quarterly earnings report, with analysts forecasting an EPS of $2.73. Historical performance shows mixed outcomes: while Q1 2025 EPS of $2.58 exceeded estimates by $0.61, shares fell 3.0% post-announcement. Similar volatility was observed in Q3 2024 (2.0% gain) and Q2 2024 (2.0% gain), despite narrower beats or misses in other quarters.

Long-term shareholders remain optimistic, noting a 16.27% rise in share price over the past 52 weeks. The market’s reaction to guidance rather than raw earnings figures has historically been more impactful. Investors are advised to scrutinize forward-looking statements during the earnings call, as these often shape post-announcement trends more than actual results.

The approach delivered a 137.53% excess return with a 31.89% compound annual growth rate, demonstrating strong risk-adjusted performance despite minimal drawdowns.
