Cerus Corporation's share price was $2.34 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 4.5% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $2 and $3, and at that close it sat 47% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 2 weeks in a row. Over the last 1 year the share price moved +61% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Cerus pay? Cerus Corporation pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Cerus on? Cerus is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Cerus profitable? Cerus Corporation posted a net loss of $2.9 M in the Jun 2026 quarter. The full FY25 year was a loss of $15.6 M. That loss is 5.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $5.7 M. 12 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. ## How much revenue does Cerus make, and is it growing? Cerus Corporation reported $57.4 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +9.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 12.0% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $206 M. The last four reported quarters add to $222 M. FY25 revenue was $206 M, +14.3% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +15.4% on average, against 12.0% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +15.1%, against +14.2% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Cerus keep? Cerus Corporation's operating margin was −3.2% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 3.3 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −37.1% and −4.2%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +3.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −3.8 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Cerus' profit turning into cash? Cerus Corporation's cash-flow history is too short to judge how much of its profit turns into cash. In FY25 it brought in $4.8 M of operating cash against −$15.6 M of profit. After $3.7 M of spending on assets, $1.1 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Cerus' cash go? Cerus Corporation does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $11.2 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 1.8% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $11.2 M over the last 3 years. In short: most of the cash goes on covering the loss, not on new assets; spending on assets is small next to it. ## What is Cerus' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Cerus Corporation has no P/E right now, because its earnings are negative. The revenue and margin sections are where a turn would show first. Measured against sales instead, the market values Cerus Corporation at 2.3× its FY25 revenue of $206 M. The P/E comes back here once profit turns positive. ## Is the Cerus business getting better or worse? Cerus Corporation's business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 12 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Cerus earn on its capital? Cerus Corporation earned a ROE of −24% in FY25. That is up from a low of −70% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 14.4 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −7.6% net margin and 0.93× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −7.6% net margin × 0.93× asset turnover × 3.42× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −24.2% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: −1.0% − 13.4% = −14.4 percentage points. The 13.4% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. ## Does Cerus have too much debt? Cerus Corporation has total debt of $76.8 M against shareholder equity of $70.7 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 1.09× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 1.02 in FY21 to 1.49 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Cerus shareholding pattern? 8.5% of Cerus Corporation's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 8.5 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Cerus from balance-sheet trouble? For Cerus Corporation, the Z-score is −3.83. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of −3.83 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Cerus rank in its industry? There is no score against its industry: Cerus Corporation is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Medical Devices. The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members. Without that group there is no score, so none is shown. ## Which companies is Cerus compared with?
