GW Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) is slated to report fourth quarter 2019 earnings results on Tuesday, February 25, after the market closes. Analysts have projected a loss of $0.75 per share on revenues of $105 million.
The company is expected to benefit from strength in sales and growth in prescriptions for Epidiolex. Last quarter, US sales for Epidiolex totaled $86.1 million and the company stated that over 15,000 patients received Epidiolex prescriptions since launch.
GW Pharma continues to work on rolling out Epidiolex in major markets outside the US and it is worth watching how these efforts have paid off. The company is also looking to use Epidiolex in new indications such as Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and is working to gain approval for the same.
The company’s other product Sativex, which is indicated for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, also has significant market opportunity in other indications as well and there are several clinical programs planned for this year.
