Ocular Therapeutix (OCUL): Faster Path To Approval Comes With Rising Costs

Ocular Therapeutix (OCUL) reported Q2 2026 results, highlighting AXPAXLI's progress for wet age-related macular degeneration. The FDA confirmed the NDA filing timeline, with potential for a faster review. Costs rose, with R&D at $54.1M, marketing at $17.3M, and net loss widening to $78.8M. Cash reserves decreased to $598.6M. AXPAXLI's data suggests fewer patient injections, and early market research shows high adoption potential. Institutional interest grew, but short interest remains high.
