The controller’s read

What the filings say.

Generated from the numbers above using the same questions I ask when I open a client’s books: how long the cash lasts, what is driving the gap between loss and burn, and where the accounting judgment sits.

About 5+ years of runway

Cash and investments of $1.17B at Q2 '26 against an average operating cash burn of $47.6M per quarter over the last four reported quarters runs out around July 2032. More than two years of runway means the finance conversation is about deployment, not survival.

Cash position up $1.07B since Q1 '25

Net financing inflows of $764M over the last four quarters, from equity, debt, or ATM sales, more than covered operating burn. The balance is the number the board watches; the trend is the number the auditors watch.

Net loss runs $33.8M above cash burn

The Q2 '26 net loss of $111M includes non-cash charges, including $8.3M of stock-based compensation, that do not consume cash. Burn, not net loss, is what runway is built on.

R&D is 83% of operating expenses

$101M of R&D against $121M of total operating expenses in Q2 '26, with G&A at $20.3M. For a clinical-stage company, the accounting questions live inside that R&D line: CRO and CMC accruals, milestone recognition, and what gets capitalized versus expensed under ASC 730.

Accumulated deficit of $559M

Total losses since inception. It is also roughly the size of the net operating loss carryforward the tax provision has to track, subject to Section 382 limits after each ownership change.
