Tuesday 8/12 Insider Buying Report: LINE, OPK

Key Points
Revenue (GAAP) missed expectations, falling to $156.8 million in Q2 2025—down approximately 14% from the prior year quarter and 5.4% below analyst estimates.
GAAP net loss deepened to $0.19 per share, with nonrecurring charges worsening overall results in Q2 2025.
Diagnostics revenue dropped sharply after asset sales, but operating losses in the segment improved in Q2 2025.
Opko Health (NASDAQ:OPK), a diversified healthcare company operating in diagnostics and pharmaceuticals, released its second quarter 2025 results on July 31, 2025. The company reported a significant revenue miss, with total GAAP revenue at $156.8 million, compared to analyst expectations of $165.7 million for Q2 2025. Its net loss per share on a GAAP basis reached $0.19, wider than estimates for a $0.11 loss and sharply higher than the prior-year figure in Q2 2025. Results were affected by lower diagnostics revenues due to asset sales, flat pharmaceutical product revenues, and the impact of a one-time charge related to a convertible note exchange in Q2 2025. Cost-cutting and divestitures helped reduce some operating losses, but overall, the quarter underscored ongoing restructuring and financial challenges for the business.

Business Overview and Recent Focus
Opko Health focuses on two main business areas: pharmaceutical products and diagnostics services. Its pharmaceutical portfolio includes therapies for chronic kidney disease, hormonal disorders, and infectious diseases. Its diagnostics unit, BioReference, provides medical laboratory testing, including specialized cancer screening.
Recently, the company has been working to streamline operations through asset sales and cost reductions, particularly within its diagnostics business. Managing regulatory approvals for both medication and diagnostic tests, along with investing in research and partnerships, are also key drivers for the company’s performance.
Quarterly Highlights and Developments
The quarter saw a substantial drop in consolidated revenues, primarily due to declining diagnostics sales following the sale of certain BioReference assets in Q2 2025. Diagnostics revenue (GAAP) fell to $101.1 million, down from $129.4 million in Q2 2024. This revenue contraction was a direct result of asset divestitures, though BioReference’s ongoing cost-cutting and restructuring led to improved operating results for the reduced business in Q2 2025.
Pharmaceutical revenues stayed nearly flat versus the previous year, at $40.7 million in Q2 2025. Rayaldee’s performance was unchanged, with $7.2 million in revenue for both Q2 2025 and Q2 2024. NGENLA, a once-weekly growth hormone injection marketed by Pfizer, saw profit share slide from $6.3 million in Q2 2024 to $6.1 million. These results highlight a lack of revenue growth in the company’s most important product lines, with product revenue at $40.7 million in Q2 2025 compared to $40.5 million in Q2 2024, and Rayaldee sales steady at $7.2 million for both periods, underscoring the need for new growth drivers from the existing pipeline.
On the pipeline and partnership front, regulatory advances were a bright spot. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a supplemental application for the 4Kscore test, a blood test that helps assess the likelihood of aggressive prostate cancer. This approval is expected to expand access to more physicians, particularly as most primary care providers do not routinely perform digital rectal exams. In research and development, OPKO continued to invest in multiple early-stage programs, including immunotherapies in collaboration with major partners such as Merck, and advanced work on GLP-1/glucagon therapies aimed at metabolic liver disease.
One-time financial actions had a major impact on the quarter’s reported results. The company recognized a $91.7 million nonrecurring charge related to the exchange of convertible notes for equity and cash during Q2 2025. While this substantially worsened the reported net loss, it was not a recurring operating expense. Additionally, OPKO’s board authorized an extra $100 million in share repurchase capacity, with $58.5 million spent under the program as of the end of Q2 2025. The company’s cash position shrank to $285.4 million as of June 30, 2025, down from $431.9 million at year-end 2024.
Product Lines and Innovation Pipeline
OPKO Health’s pharmaceutical business is anchored by Rayaldee, an oral vitamin D prohormone for patients with chronic kidney disease, and NGENLA, a human growth hormone therapy developed with Pfizer for pediatric growth hormone deficiency. Rayaldee sales held steady at $7.2 million in Q2 2025. NGENLA’s gross profit share also remained nearly flat and has not yet demonstrated a rebound in Q2 2025, despite prescription growth suggested by public data. There was no material growth from other pharmaceutical products to offset these trends.
The diagnostics segment, led by BioReference, focuses on medical laboratory testing. The 4Kscore prostate cancer test, designed to predict the risk of aggressive disease using a blood sample, received FDA approval for expanded use during Q2 2025. However, the segment as a whole continues to see revenue pressure after recent asset divestitures. The company expects further revenue reduction upon the anticipated sale of its oncology testing assets to Labcorp, a leading laboratory services company. Operating costs in the diagnostics segment have come down sharply, and management expects that the remaining core operations will be profitable before nonrecurring and noncash expense items.
Financial Outlook and Key Watch Items
Management maintained its full-year 2025 revenue guidance of $675 million to $685 million, despite the weak quarter. This implies a substantially stronger performance in the second half of the year. The company also guided for full-year 2025 costs and expenses of $825 million to $875 million. BARDA contract revenue guidance for 2025 was slightly lowered, and research and development spending is expected to remain elevated, reflecting ongoing investment in early-stage programs supported by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).
These include the impact of additional cost reduction initiatives expected to reach $10 million annually, and the anticipated completion of the Labcorp asset sale, which will reshape the diagnostics business. Returning to profitability in core diagnostics and pharmaceutical operations remains a key target. No new dividend was declared, and OPK does not currently pay a dividend. Cash burn and share count dilution are ongoing areas of focus, particularly as research spending continues and new product launches remain at least a year or more away.

Opko Health (OPK) Q2 Revenue Falls 14%

OPKO Health, Inc. OPK delivered a loss per share of 19 cents in the second quarter of 2025, wider than the year-ago period’s loss of a penny per share and the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 12 cents per share.
OPK’s Revenues in Detail
OPKO Health registered revenues of $156.8 million in the second quarter, down 13.9% year over year. The figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.1%.
The overall top line was dampened by lower revenues from services, which were partly offset by strength in revenues from products, and the transfer of intellectual property and other.
Shares of this company lost nearly 3.1% during after-hours trading.
OPKO Health’s Segmental Revenues
OPKO Health manages its operations through two reportable segments – Diagnostics and Pharmaceuticals.
Within the Diagnostics arm, revenues from services amounted to $101.1 million in the reported quarter, down 21.9% year over year. This was primarily due to lower clinical test volume, principally as a result of the sale of certain BioReference assets, partially offset by higher clinical test reimbursement rates. This compares to our projection of $104.9 million from services revenues in the second quarter.
Within the Pharmaceuticals arm, revenues from products inched up 0.6% year over year to $40.7 million, reflecting higher sales volumes in certain international operations. This was partially offset by reduced sales in the Chilean subsidiary due to the impact of foreign currency and a mild winter cold and flu season. This compares to our projection of $41.8 million from product revenues in the second quarter.
Revenues from sales of Rayaldee in the second quarter of 2025 were $7.2 million, flat from the prior-year period.
Revenues from the transfer of intellectual property and other totaled $14.9 million, up 21.6% from the prior-year period. This increase was driven by higher revenue from the BARDA contract and contract manufacturers’ commercial milestones. This was partially offset by lower gross profit share payments for NGENLA, which totaled $6.1 million in the 2025 period compared with $6.3 million in the 2024 period. This compares to our projection of $17.9 million in revenues from the transfer of intellectual property and other in the second quarter.
OPKO Health, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
OPK’s Margin Analysis
In the quarter under review, OPKO Health’s gross profit decreased 4.4% year over year to $49.4 million. However, the gross margin expanded 315 basis points (bps) to 31.5%.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses declined 13.4% year over year to $59.6 million. Research and development expenses increased 25.9% year over year to $30.3 million. Adjusted operating expenses of $89.9 million decreased 3.2% year over year.
Adjusted operating loss totaled $40.5 million compared with the prior-year quarter’s adjusted operating loss of $41.3 million.
OPKO Health’s Financial Position
OPKO Health exited second-quarter 2025 with cash and cash equivalents of $271.7 million compared with $435.9 million at the first-quarter end.
Cumulative net cash used in operating activities at the end of second-quarter 2025 was $117.9 million compared with $62 million a year ago.
OPK’s Guidance
OPKO Health has revised its financial outlook for 2025.
For the full year, it now expects total revenues between $640 million and $660 million, down from the prior outlook of $675 million and $685 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate currently stands at $651.8 million.
Revenues from product sales are now expected to be in the range of $160 million-$170 million, down from the prior outlook of $165 million-$175 million.
Revenues from services are expected to be in the range of $405 million-$425 million.
Other revenues are now expected to be between $65 million and $75 million, lowered from the prior outlook of $75 million and $85 million. This includes the Pfizer gross profit share estimates between $28 million and $35 million (lowered from $30 million and $40 million) and support from BARDA of $30 million to $35 million (lowered from $38 million to $44 million).
Our Take on OPKO Health
OPKO Health exited the second quarter of 2025 with a wider-than-expected loss per share and lower-than-expected revenues. Its dismal top-and-bottom-line performances and lower revenues from services were disappointing. The persistent operating loss also does not bode well for the company.
On a positive note, robust revenues from products, and transfer of intellectual property and other were registered during the quarter. The expansion of the gross margin bodes well for the company.
During the quarter, OPKO Health’s ModeX continued to advance its immuno-oncology and immunology portfolio with four potential clinical candidates progressing, while Merck advanced a Phase 1 Epstein-Barr virus vaccine trial, which is being developed in collaboration with OPK. During the quarter, the FDA approved the supplemental application for the 4KScore Test regarding the availability of digital rectal examination information. These developments look promising for the stock.

Validea Kenneth Fisher Strategy Daily Upgrade Report - 6/18/2025

OPKO Health, Inc. OPK is well-poised for growth in the coming quarters, courtesy of its potential in RAYALDEE. The optimism surrounding the stock is backed by RAYALDEE’s performance and strategic partnerships. However, stiff competition and overdependence on RAYALDEE pose concerns.
Shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have lost 8.8% so far this year compared with the industry's 9.7% decline. The S&P 500 has increased 2.1% in the said time frame.
This renowned multinational biopharmaceutical and diagnostics company has a market capitalization of $1.07 billion. The company predicts 33.3% growth for fiscal 2026 and expects to maintain its strong performance. OPKO Health’s earnings surpassed estimates in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once, the average beat being 65.33%.

Factors Favoring OPK Stock
Potential of RAYALDEE: Rayaldee remains OPKO Health’s flagship renal product in the United States, approved for treating SHPT in adults with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease and vitamin D insufficiency. Distributed primarily through retail pharmacies and major wholesalers, Rayaldee also operates under various rebate and discount agreements with payors and providers. While sales declined recently due to headwinds from the Inflation Reduction Act, OPKO reported improved operating margins driven by better net pricing through reduced government rebates, which helped partially offset the volume decline.
Strategic Agreements: OPKO Health has been active on multiple strategic fronts. In March, the company partnered with Entera Bio to develop a once-daily oral GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist tablet targeting obesity and metabolic disorders, combining OPKO’s OPK-88006 analog with Entera’s N-Tab delivery tech. That same month, OPKO also reached an agreement with Labcorp, which will acquire select oncology and diagnostics assets from OPKO’s BioReference Health. This divestiture, including a similar sale in September 2024, is expected to streamline operations, strengthen focus on the $300 million 4Kscore urology franchise, and potentially raise up to $462.5 million to support business expansion and debt reduction.
Clinical Trials: In its latestearnings call OPKO Health confirmed that ModeX Therapeutics has two active programs in Phase 1 trials: an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) vaccine candidate in collaboration with Merck, and MDX2001, a tetraspecific antibody targeting solid tumors, which has progressed to its fourth dose level. Additional Phase 1 and 1b studies in selected solid tumors are expected to begin in early 2026. Human trials for MDX2003 (for lymphoma and leukemia) and MDX2004 (an immune rejuvenator) are planned for late 2025 or early 2026. Meanwhile, the development of multispecific antibodies for immunocompromised patients at risk for COVID-19 and influenza continues, backed by $110 million in BARDA funding.
Factors That May Offset the Gains for OPK
Overdependence on RAYALDEE: OPKO Health's financial success depends heavily on the commercialization of Rayaldee, its only approved pharmaceutical product in the United States. Failure to effectively market Rayaldee could severely affect the company's revenues, profitability and overall business operations.
Additionally, Rayaldee's market reputation, safety and perceived efficacy are crucial. Any negative publicity, safety concerns or rumors about the product could significantly harm OPKO's business, undermining the product's acceptance and damaging its financial outlook.
Currently, reimbursement challenges, increased competition and slower-than-expected market adoption are likely to hurt Rayaldee sales going forward. Moreover, pricing pressures and formulary restrictions, along with shifts in treatment guidelines and generic alternatives, are likely to keep the drug’s sales under pressure.
Stiff Competition: The pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and laboratory testing industries are highly competitive and require an ongoing, extensive search for technological innovation. Numerous companies, including major pharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and specialized biotechnology companies, are engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of pharmaceutical products competitive with those that OPKO Health intends to commercialize itself and through its partners.
Competitors to the company’s diagnostics business include major diagnostic companies, reference laboratories, molecular diagnostic firms, universities and research institutions. Most of these companies have substantially greater financial and other resources. This enables them to make greater research and development investments and efficiently utilize their research and development costs, as well as their marketing and promotion costs, over a broader revenue base. OPKO Health’s major competitors include Quest Diagnostics and Laboratory Corporation of America.
Estimate Trend of OPK
OPKO Health is witnessing a negative estimate revision trend for 2025. In the past 60 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for its loss has widened from 25 cents to 30 cents per share.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s second-quarter 2025 revenues and loss per share is pegged at $165.4 million and 10 cents, respectively. The revenue estimate indicates a 9.2% decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported number.

Validea Kenneth Fisher Strategy Daily Upgrade Report - 5/29/2025

OPKO Health, Inc. OPK delivered a loss per share of 10 cents in the first quarter of 2025, narrower than the year-ago period’s loss of 12 cents per share. However, the metric was wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 6 cents per share. (Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.)
OPK’s Revenues in Detail
OPKO Health registered revenues of $149.9 million in the first quarter, down 13.7% year over year. The figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 8.9%.
The overall top line was dampened by lower revenues from products and services, which was partly offset by strength in revenues from the transfer of intellectual property.
Shares of this company lost nearly 1.4% at the end of yesterday’s trading.
OPKO Health’s Segmental Revenues
OPKO Health manages its operations through two reportable segments – Diagnostics and Pharmaceuticals.
Within the Diagnostics arm, revenues from services amounted to $102.8 million in the reported quarter, down 18.9% year over year. This was primarily due to lower clinical test volume, principally resulting from the sale of certain assets of BioReference Health (BioReference), partially offset by higher clinical test reimbursement rates. This compares to our projection of $101 million from services revenues in the first quarter.
Within the Pharmaceuticals arm, revenues from products declined 8.7% year over year to $34.8 million, reflecting unfavorable foreign currency exchange fluctuations and a decrease in Rayaldee sales. This compares to our projection of $40.2 million from product revenues in the first quarter.
Revenues from sales of Rayaldee in the first quarter of 2025 were $6.3 million, down 8.7% from the prior-year period.
Revenues from the transfer of intellectual property totaled $12.3 million, up 41.4% from the prior-year period. This increase was driven by revenues from the BARDA contract of $7 million in 2025 compared with $2.2 million in 2024. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in gross profit share payments for NGENLA, which totaled $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared with $5.6 million in the year-ago period. This compares to our projection of $20.2 million in revenues from the transfer of intellectual property in the first quarter.
OPKO Health, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

OPK’s Margin Analysis
In the quarter under review, OPKO Health’s gross profit increased 1.4% year over year to $42.6 million. The gross margin expanded 424 basis points to 28.4%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses declined 15.8% year over year to $59.1 million. Research and development expenses increased 40.6% year over year to $30.8 million. Adjusted operating expenses of $89.9 million decreased 2.4% year over year.
Adjusted operating loss totaled $47.3 million compared with the prior-year quarter’s adjusted operating loss of $50.1 million.
OPKO Health’s Financial Position
OPKO Health exited first-quarter 2025 with cash and cash equivalents of $436 million compared with $431.9 million at 2024-end.
OPK’s Guidance
OPKO Health has revised its financial outlook for 2025.
For the full year, it now expects total revenues between $675 million and $685 million, narrowed from the prior outlook of $675 million and $700 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate currently stands at $671.9 million.
Revenues from product sales are continued to be expected in the range of $165 million-$175 million.
Other revenues are now expected to be between $75 million and $85 million, lowered from the prior outlook of $80 million and $95 million. This includes the Pfizer gross profit share estimates between $30 million and $40 million (lowered from $35 million and $45 million) and BARDA revenues of $38 million to $44 million (lowered from $40 million to $48 million).
Our Take
OPKO Health exited the first quarter of 2025 with a wider-than-expected loss per share and lower-than-expected revenues. Its dismal top-and-bottom-line performances and lower revenues from products and services were disappointing. The decline in Rayaldee sales was also concerning. The persistent operating loss also does not bode well for the company.
On a positive note, robust revenues from the transfer of intellectual property were registered during the quarter. The expansion of the gross margin bodes well for the company.
During the quarter, OPKO Health signed a definitive agreement with Labcorp to sell oncology and related clinical testing assets of BioReference, which includes the sale of BioReference’s laboratory testing businesses focused on oncology and oncology-related clinical testing services. The company also entered into a collaboration agreement with Entera Bio to advance an oral GLP-1/glucagon tablet candidate into the clinic to treat obesity and metabolic disorders. Also, OPKO Health’s company, ModeX Therapeutics Inc., continued to advance its immuno-oncology and immunology portfolio with four potential clinical candidates progressing in the pipeline. These developments look promising for the stock.

OPK currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Other Recent Developments by Labcorp
In the previous month, the company’s Labcorp Plasma Complete, a circulating tumor DNA-based comprehensive genomic profiling solution, became clinically available for patients with advanced solid tumors.
