Travere Therapeutics reports Q3 2026 loss and revenue beat amid high R&D spend

Travere Therapeutics announced its third‑quarter 2026 results, posting a loss of $0.55 per share on revenue of $224.56 million. The miss was driven by a $113.1 million research and development expense, while its rare‑kidney drug Filspari generated strong sales growth. The company also disclosed that CEO Eric Dube will step down on December 1, 2026, and that a patent notice extends Filspari’s protection to 2037.

Leerink Partners cut its price target to $67 from $78 after the earnings miss, and the stock fell 4.3% in pre‑market trading. The high R&D spend and leadership change add uncertainty to near‑term profitability.
