Delcath’s (DCTH) Liver Cancer Device Keeps Growing, But At A Cost
Delcath Systems (DCTH) reported Q2 revenue of $29.1M, up from $24.2M YoY, driven by its HEPZATO KIT and CHEMOSAT devices. The company raised its 2026 revenue guidance to $104M-$108M. However, expenses rose, with R&D and SG&A increasing, leading to flat net income. Delcath has $95.9M in cash and no debt, and is expanding into new indications.
