Glaukos raises 2026 guidance as iDose and Epioxa accelerate growth

The quarter supports a positive growth trajectory: iDose TR adoption and Epioxa expansion drove strong sales, while the O2N network and pipeline broaden future opportunities. The key test is whether reimbursement transitions, international dynamics, and regulatory execution allow that growth to translate into operating leverage and cash-flow breakeven.

Methodology

Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.

Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.

Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
