Outlook vs. Analyst Expectations
While Immunocore did not provide explicit forward revenue or EPS guidance, analysts project:
- Q3 2025 Revenue Estimate: $100.4M
- Q3 2025 EPS Estimate: -$0.25
- Full-Year 2025 Revenue Estimate: $395.3M
- Full-Year 2025 EPS Estimate: -$0.82

Market Reaction & Investor Sentiment
The pre-market rally indicates relief that Immunocore’s revenue growth remains robust despite broader biotech sector volatility. The narrower-than-expected loss also alleviates concerns about rising R&D expenses ($69.0M in Q2, up from $51.1M YoY).
