Harrow Investment Narrative Recap

To own Harrow, you need to believe its expanding ophthalmic portfolio can offset concentration risk in VEVYE, IHEEZO, and TRIESENCE while the company moves toward profitability. The VERKAZIA re launch supports that diversification story but does not change the fact that near term performance still hinges on execution against ambitious 2026 revenue guidance and on managing high operating costs, which remain the key catalyst and risk, respectively.

The VERKAZIA news sits alongside Harrow’s recent Q1 2026 update, where revenue was US$44.2 million and the company reported a US$27.6 million net loss while reaffirming aggressive full year revenue guidance of US$350–365 million. Together, these announcements frame VERKAZIA less as a standalone driver and more as one of several products that need to contribute meaningfully if Harrow is to close the gap between current losses and its revenue and margin ambitions.

Harrow’s narrative projects $784.8 million revenue and $246.0 million earnings by 2029. This requires 42.9% yearly revenue growth and a $261.0 million earnings increase from -$15.0 million today.

Uncover how Harrow's forecasts yield a $68.38 fair value, a 104% upside to its current price.
