Axsome reports strong Q3 growth as AUVELITY sales accelerate

On November 2, Axsome reported Q3 2026 revenue of $259.7 million, up 51.9% year over year, and a GAAP loss of $0.25 per share. AUVELITY generated $207.6 million, while SUNOSI contributed $48.2 million. Axsome also began the Phase 3 SUMMIT study of AXS-05 in smoking cessation.

The results provide updated evidence of commercial growth across Axsome’s approved products, led by AUVELITY. The company said its current cash balance should support operations until cash flow turns positive, which could limit near-term financing needs if that expectation holds.
