Akebia Therapeutics reports Q3 2026 revenue of $36.9 M and a net loss of $14.35 M

Akebia Therapeutics announced third‑quarter 2026 results. Total revenue fell 37% year‑over‑year to $36.9 million, while a net loss of $14.35 million was recorded. Vafseo (vadadustat) generated $14.8 million in product revenue and was used by about 11,500 patients, a 140% increase from the prior year. The company highlighted positive VOICE trial data showing a 10% reduction in hospitalizations versus ESA and said cash and cash equivalents stood at $159.3 million.

The sharp revenue decline and loss signal short‑term earnings pressure for investors, while the strong cash position should fund operations for at least two years. Positive trial results could support future Vafseo adoption and revenue growth, which analysts may view as a longer‑term upside.
