The company, based in Warren, United States, and listed on Nasdaq, has been navigating a challenging financial landscape, as reflected in its latest earnings report.
As of May 12, 2025, Aquestive Therapeutics reported a close price of $2.79, with its stock experiencing a significant fluctuation over the past year. The company’s 52-week high was $5.8 on October 29, 2024, while its low reached $2.2 on April 8, 2025.

The earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter were anticipated to be -$0.165, according to the consensus of eight analysts. This figure represents a slight improvement from the previous year’s loss of -$0.170 per share. Despite this marginal progress, the company’s price-to-earnings ratio stands at -5.79, indicating ongoing challenges in achieving profitability.
Revenue for the quarter showed a modest increase of 1.49%, with analysts projecting sales of $12.2 million compared to $12.1 million in the same period last year. This incremental growth highlights the company’s efforts to expand its market presence and enhance its product offerings.
Looking ahead, the outlook for Aquestive Therapeutics remains cautious. Analysts predict a continued loss per share of -$0.663 for the current fiscal year, a slight deterioration from the previous year’s -$0.510. Total revenue is expected to reach $49.6 million, down from $57.6 million in the prior year. These projections underscore the competitive pressures and operational challenges the company faces in the pharmaceutical sector.
In addition to financial metrics, Aquestive Therapeutics has made notable progress in its product pipeline. The company’s Anaphylm, a treatment for anaphylaxis, has shown promising advancements, as highlighted in the Q1 2025 slides. This progress is a positive development for the company, which continues to focus on late-stage proprietary products aimed at addressing central nervous system diseases.
As Aquestive Therapeutics navigates its financial and operational hurdles, the company remains committed to delivering innovative therapeutic solutions. Investors and stakeholders will be closely monitoring the company’s performance in the coming quarters, as it strives to achieve sustainable growth and profitability in the competitive health care sector.
