# Cytokinetics share price today (Cytokinetics, Incorporated, CYTK)

> Cytokinetics, Incorporated's balance sheet is under water: its net worth is negative, so it owes more than it owns. The latest quarter's profit comes from a one-off item larger than a full quarter's revenue, not from the business. This is a high-risk situation: shareholders can be wiped out by new shares or a restructuring before the business recovers. CYTK · Healthcare · Biotechnology · data as of 5 November 2026.

Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business. ## What is the Cytokinetics share price today? Cytokinetics, Incorporated's share price was $55.55 at the close on 5 November 2026. It has been moving sideways for 8 weeks. That is 20.7% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $56 and $86, and at that close it was at the low of that range. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 8 weeks running. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +438% while the S&P 500 moved +245%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 11 September 2026. 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 Cytokinetics pay? Cytokinetics, Incorporated 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 Cytokinetics on? Cytokinetics 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 Cytokinetics profitable? Cytokinetics, Incorporated posted a net loss of $199 M in the Jun 2026 quarter. That quarter includes a one-off gain bigger than its revenue, so the comparison with last year does not reflect normal business. The full FY25 year was a loss of $785 M. That loss is 694.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $134 M. 12 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. Read this profit with care: at −$199 M it is bigger than the quarter's whole revenue of $28.6 M. No business earns more than it takes in from sales, so this is a one-off item (for example a debt settlement, a tax write-back or an asset sale), not money the business earned. The underlying business is running at a −626.0% operating margin. The jump on last year, and any P/E built on this profit, come from the one-off, not from a real turn in earnings. ## How much revenue does Cytokinetics make, and is it growing? Cytokinetics, Incorporated reported $28.6 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, −57.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown 5.7% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $88.0 M. The last four reported quarters add to $67.7 M. FY25 revenue was $88.0 M, +376.6% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +347.9% on average, against 5.7% 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 −21.1%, against +364.7% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Cytokinetics keep? Cytokinetics, Incorporated's operating margin was −626.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 459.0 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −6,589.7% and −264.5%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −459.0 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −192.6 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is Cytokinetics' profit turning into cash? Cytokinetics, Incorporated's cash-flow history is too short to judge how much of its profit turns into cash. In FY25 its operations used $510 M of cash, against −$785 M of profit. After $24.8 M of spending on assets, free cash was −$535 M: it spent more than its operations brought in. 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 Cytokinetics' cash go? Cytokinetics, Incorporated 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 $30.1 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 11.4% 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: $30.1 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 Cytokinetics' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Cytokinetics, Incorporated 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 Cytokinetics, Incorporated at 87.7× its FY25 revenue of $88.0 M. The P/E comes back here once profit turns positive. ## Is the Cytokinetics business getting better or worse? Cytokinetics, Incorporated'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 1 measure, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. The latest quarter’s profit includes a one-off item bigger than the normal business, so the profit line is shown but does not count in this reading. The return-on-capital line is not shown: net worth is negative, so a return on capital means nothing. The balance sheet is in distress, and this reading uses the growth lines alone. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Cytokinetics earn on its capital? Cytokinetics, Incorporated earned a ROE of 119% in FY25. That is up from a low of −88% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 56.0 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −891.6% net margin and 0.06× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −891.6% net margin × 0.06× asset turnover × −2.16× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 115.6% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: −48.9% − 7.1% = −56.0 percentage points. The 7.1% 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 Cytokinetics have too much debt? Cytokinetics, Incorporated's net worth is negative: it owes more than it owns, so a debt-to-equity ratio means nothing here. Year by year, that ratio went from 1.11 in FY21 to −2.18 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Cytokinetics shareholding pattern? 13.4% of Cytokinetics, Incorporated's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 8.2 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 Cytokinetics from balance-sheet trouble? For Cytokinetics, Incorporated, the Z-score is −1.25. 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 −1.25 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Cytokinetics rank in its industry?

Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 5 November 2026). ### Is Cytokinetics a stock worth studying right now?
