Janux Therapeutics 2024 Q3 Earnings Widening Losses Amidst Revenue Decline

Janux Therapeutics reported its Q3 2024 earnings on August 8, 2025, showing a significant drop in revenue and a sharp increase in losses. The company missed expectations, with both revenue and net income figures deteriorating sharply compared to the prior year. Investors are now closely watching the company’s strategy to turn around its financial performance.

Janux Therapeutics reported total revenue of $439,000 for Q3 2024, representing an 82.6% decline from the $2.52 million recorded in Q3 2023. This decrease was driven by the sole revenue source, collaboration revenue, which stood at $439,000 for the quarter, indicating a significant reduction in partnership and licensing activities.

The company’s earnings per share (EPS) and net income also worsened sharply. Janux Therapeutics reported a loss of $0.51 per share in Q3 2024, a 104.0% increase in losses compared to a $0.25 per share loss in Q3 2023. The net loss widened to $28.06 million, up 142.6% from $11.57 million in the prior year quarter. These figures reflect ongoing financial challenges for the company, with losses persisting for four consecutive years over the corresponding quarter.

Janux Therapeutics shares have experienced negative price action in the short term. The stock price dropped 7.84% during the latest trading day, 5.98% during the most recent full trading week, and 7.65% month-to-date, signaling investor concern over the company’s financial performance.

A historical review of post-earnings price action shows that a strategy of buying Janux shares following a quarter with revenue growth and holding for 30 days would have yielded a 94.14% return over the past three years, significantly outperforming the benchmark return of 48.81%. The excess return was 45.33%, and the strategy demonstrated a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.54%. Although the maximum drawdown was 0.00% and the Sharpe ratio of 0.22 was modest, the strategy historically emphasized revenue growth as a key performance indicator for strong returns.

David Campbell, Ph.D., President and CEO of Janux Therapeutics, expressed optimism about the company’s clinical pipeline and future progress. He highlighted the expansion of the TRACTr, TRACIr, and ARM development programs, emphasizing efforts to maximize the value of current candidates such as JANX007. Dr. Campbell noted that upcoming clinical data from these programs in the second half of 2025 will be critical for the company’s development and investor sentiment.

The company is currently enrolling patients in its ongoing Phase 1 trials, including JANX007 and JANX008, with additional clinical data expected to be presented at future company events in the second half of 2025. Janux is also advancing preclinical programs toward clinical development, including the combination of PSMA-TRACIr with JANX007, TROP2-TRACTr for solid tumors, and CD19-ARM for autoimmune disease.
