Lantheus Holdings reported mixed second-quarter 2025 results, with revenue declining slightly but earnings rising sharply. The company missed top-line expectations and revised its full-year outlook in light of competitive pressures and strategic shifts. However, it remains optimistic about long-term growth, driven by recent acquisitions and new product development.
Revenue Lantheus Holdings reported total revenue of $378.05 million in Q2 2025, a 4.1% decline from $394.09 million in the same period a year ago. PYLARIFY was the standout segment, generating $250.64 million in revenue, while DEFINITY and TechneLite contributed $83.94 million and $24.98 million, respectively. Other precision diagnostics added $6.89 million, and strategic partnerships and other revenue sources totaled $11.59 million.
Earnings/Net Income The company’s earnings per share (EPS) rose 29.2% year-over-year to $1.15, while net income surged 26.9% to $78.75 million, underscoring strong profitability despite the revenue decline.
Price Action Following the earnings report, the LNTH stock price edged up 0.57% on the most recent trading day but declined 27.80% for the week and 34.50% month-to-date.
Post Earnings Price Action Review The performance of the stock following a revenue increase quarter-over-quarter and holding for 30 days yielded a 20.16% return over the past three years, compared to a 49.40% return for the benchmark, resulting in an excess return of -29.23%. While the compound annual growth rate stood at 6.38%, the Sharpe ratio of 0.12 indicated a low-risk strategy with modest returns.
CEO Commentary CEO Brian Markison emphasized the company’s recent acquisitions of Evergreen Theragnostics and Life Molecular Imaging as key steps in expanding radiopharmaceutical capabilities. He acknowledged competitive pressures affecting PYLARIFY’s performance but noted ongoing efforts to maintain clinical differentiation. Markison also highlighted the FDA’s acceptance of a new PSMA PET formulation and a $400 million stock repurchase authorization as confidence-building moves for the company’s long-term prospects.
Guidance Lantheus updated its full-year 2025 guidance to reflect the acquisition of Life Molecular Imaging and current market conditions. While the company anticipates challenges in the PSMA PET market, it remains focused on pipeline advancement and commercial expansion. Specific numerical targets, however, were not disclosed.
