Incyte reported strong Q3 revenue growth, mainly driven by Jakafi and Opzelura, with a 24% increase year-over-year. New product approvals, like Niktimvo, should diversify Incyte's revenue and reduce reliance on Jakafi. The EPS miss is mostly related to elevated R&D spending, which will be critical to ease investors' fears about a potential loss of revenue from Jakafi in the coming years.
On Tuesday, Incyte Corporation INCY reported third-quarter revenue of $1.14 billion, up 24% year over year, beating the consensus of $1.08 billion.

On Tuesday, Incyte Corporation INCY reported third-quarter revenue of $1.14 billion, up 24% year over year and beating the consensus of $1.08 billion.
Incyte reports mixed third-quarter results as earnings miss estimates while revenues beat the same due to increased sales of Jakafi and Opzelura.
The headline numbers for Incyte (INCY) give insight into how the company performed in the quarter ended September 2024, but it may be worthwhile to compare some of its key metrics to Wall Street estimates and the year-ago actuals.
Incyte beat Wall Street estimates for third-quarter revenue and raised annual sales forecast for its top-selling drug on Tuesday, as uptake among patients remained strong.
Incyte (INCY) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.07 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.12 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.10 per share a year ago.
INCY's third-quarter 2024 earnings are likely to have gained from higher Jakafi and Opzelura sales.
Though INCY's performance in the year so far has been good, increasing competition for Jakafi is a concern. We advise investors to wait and watch before turning positive.
