Array BioPharma shares spike following 2Q earnings report

BOULDER — Shares of Array BioPharma Inc. (Nasdaq: ARRY) had surged nearly 12 percent by mid-afternoon trading Thursday after the release of the company’s fiscal year-end earnings report.

The gains came despite a net loss for the year ending June 30 of $92.8 million as the Boulder-based firm continues with Phase 3 trials for multiple cancer drugs and prepares for commercialization.

Array’s net loss equated to 65 cents per share and compared with a net income of $9.4 million, or 7 cents per share, for the previous fiscal year, which was bolstered by a one-time $80 million payment from Novartis related to Array’s binimetinib and encorafenib programs.
