PROCEPT BioRobotics Q1 Loss Deepens To US$0.56 EPS And Tests Bullish Revenue Narratives
PROCEPT BioRobotics Corp. PRCT | 0.00 |
PROCEPT BioRobotics (PRCT) opened Q1 2026 with total revenue of US$83.1 million and a basic EPS loss of US$0.56, while trailing twelve month figures showed revenue of US$322.0 million and a basic EPS loss of US$1.83, keeping profitability firmly in focus for investors. Over recent quarters the company has seen revenue move from US$69.2 million in Q1 2025 to US$83.1 million in Q1 2026, alongside quarterly basic EPS losses ranging from US$0.35 to US$0.56, so the market is likely to zero in on how efficiently that top line is being converted given margins remain under pressure.

Revenue Growth With TTM Above US$320 Million
- On a trailing twelve month basis, PROCEPT BioRobotics reported revenue of US$322.0 million compared with US$224.5 million two years earlier, while quarterly revenue over the last six periods has stayed in a band of roughly US$68.2 million to US$83.3 million.
- Supporters of the bullish view point to analyst expectations for about 23.9% to 26.5% annual revenue growth over the next three years, and Q1 2026 revenue of US$83.1 million sits above the US$69.2 million seen in Q1 2025. They argue that this backs the idea of solid top line momentum, although the trailing twelve month revenue figure of US$322.0 million still coincides with a trailing twelve month net loss of US$102.5 million, so the revenue story has not yet translated into profitability.
Bulls argue that this combination of a growing revenue base and expanding adoption of Aquablation and HYDROS systems could support long term upside if operating leverage eventually improves. However, the current loss profile means that view rests heavily on future execution rather than current earnings power. 🐂 PROCEPT BioRobotics Bull Case
Losses Over US$100 Million Keep Profit In Focus
- Trailing twelve month net income excluding extra items stands at a loss of US$102.5 million, with quarterly net losses ranging from US$18.9 million to US$31.6 million across the last six reported quarters, and basic EPS losses running between US$0.35 and US$0.56 per quarter.
- Critics who lean toward the bearish narrative highlight that losses have widened at about 10.2% per year over the past five years and forecasts suggest the company is unlikely to reach profitability in the next three years. They see the combination of a trailing twelve month EPS loss of US$1.83 and ongoing quarterly losses of around US$20 million to US$30 million as evidence that operating expenses and cost of goods remain a headwind even as revenue scales.
Skeptics also point to the risk section of the bearish narrative, which flags ongoing high spending on R&D and commercialization plus supply chain and reimbursement pressures. They argue that with no clear forecasted break into positive earnings the current loss level leaves little room for disappointment if growth slows. 🐻 PROCEPT BioRobotics Bear Case
P/S Of 4.2x Sits Between Industry And Peers
- The shares trade on a P/S of 4.2x compared with 2.8x for the broader US Medical Equipment industry and 5.2x for the peer group, so the stock is priced at a premium to the wider industry but at a discount to closer comparables, while the current share price is US$24.04 against an allowed analyst target reference of US$30.33.
- Consensus narrative supporters argue that revenue growth forecasts of about 17.1% per year alongside expectations for margin improvement could justify a higher multiple. Yet the company’s unprofitable status, and the fact that it is not forecast to become profitable over the next three years, means some investors may question whether a P/S premium to the industry, combined with a DCF fair value that is not available from the data provided here, leaves enough compensation for the risk attached to persistent losses.
