What Corcept Therapeutics Inc. reported on July 29, 2026

The quarter ending June 30, 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier.

These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.

Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.

What management said

“Our oncology and Cushing’s syndrome businesses delivered strong results in the second quarter. In our oncology business, over 1,300 patients have now started treatment with Lifyorli following FDA approval in March 2026. Demand for Lifyorli has accelerated each month with physicians responding favorably to Lifyorli’s efficacy and safety profile, oral administration and lack of biomarker requirement. Our Cushing’s syndrome business, once again, had a record number of new prescriptions written for our medications as physicians increasingly recognize hypercortisolism’s true prevalence and the necessity of appropriate treatment. We expect this trend to continue as the findings from our CATALYST and MOMENTUM studies are fully incorporated into clinical practice. We anticipate continued strength across our businesses and have increased our 2026 revenue guidance to $1.1 – $1.2 billion,”
