Negative Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

ProKidney reported a second-quarter 2026 net loss before noncontrolling interest of $46.4 million, up from $37.0 million a year earlier, as research and development expenses rose to $36.1 million from $25.9 million, mainly on the Phase 3 PROACT 1 study. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities fell to $181.6 million from $224.9 million at March 31, 2026, and the company said this supports operations into mid-2027. Shareholders face a larger loss per share and a lower cash balance, though the company completed enrollment for the accelerated approval analysis.
