Akebia Therapeutics' stock surged 15.85% in pre-market trading on May 8, 2025, driven by strong first-quarter earnings and revenue surprises.
Akebia Therapeutics reported a 200% earnings surprise and a 26.83% revenue surprise for the quarter ended March 2025. The company's performance exceeded analyst expectations, contributing to the significant pre-market rally.
