Cardiff Oncology's stock price has dropped by 26.28% in pre-market trading after the biotechnology company reported mixed second-quarter (Q2) earnings. Despite positive results from its Phase 2 cancer trial, the company's revenue exceeded expectations but missed earnings per share estimates, leading to a significant drop in stock value.

The company reported a loss of $13.9 million for the quarter, compared to a loss of $11.8 million a year earlier. The quarterly loss was 21 cents per share, which was 2 cents higher than analyst expectations. Revenue fell 26% to $121,000, also missing analyst expectations. However, Cardiff Oncology disclosed encouraging results from a recent trial for its colorectal cancer treatment, which showed a 19% improvement in objective response rate, as well as shorter time to response and deeper tumor regression.

The stock tumbled 17% to $2.75 in premarket trading, despite being up more than 40% in the past year. The company has cash and investments of $71.0 million, projected to last into Q1 2027, and has strong momentum in the 89th percentile according to Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings.

Cardiff Oncology's stock price drop can be attributed to the company's failure to meet earnings per share estimates, despite positive trial results. The company's strong financial position and promising clinical trial results may provide a basis for recovery in the coming quarters.
