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 Wave Life Sciences Ltd. share price today? Wave Life Sciences Ltd.'s share price was $3.58 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 51.1% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $3 and $18, and at that close it sat 3% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 35 weeks running. Over the last 1 year the share price moved −54% while the S&P 500 moved +18%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 6 March 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 Wave Life Sciences Ltd. pay? Wave Life Sciences Ltd. 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 Wave Life Sciences Ltd. on? Wave Life Sciences Ltd. 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 Wave Life Sciences Ltd. profitable? Wave Life Sciences Ltd. posted a net loss of $69.4 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 $204 M. That loss is 3,052.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $50.5 M. 10 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. Read this profit with care: at −$69.4 M it is bigger than the quarter's whole revenue of $2.3 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 −3,248.3% 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 Wave Life Sciences Ltd. make, and is it growing? Wave Life Sciences Ltd. reported $2.3 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, −73.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown 1.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $42.7 M. The last four reported quarters add to $65.4 M. FY25 revenue was $42.7 M, −60.5% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +54.5% on average, against 1.1% 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 −30.4%, against −23.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Wave Life Sciences Ltd. keep? Wave Life Sciences Ltd.'s operating margin was −3,248.3% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 2,641.8 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −4,459.3% and −60.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −2,641.8 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1,757.9 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Wave Life Sciences Ltd.'s profit turning into cash? Wave Life Sciences Ltd.'s cash-flow history is too short to judge how much of its profit turns into cash. In FY25 its operations used $187 M of cash, against −$204 M of profit. After $718 K of spending on assets, free cash was −$188 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 Wave Life Sciences Ltd.'s cash go? Wave Life Sciences Ltd. 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 $2.8 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 2.2% 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: $2.8 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 Wave Life Sciences Ltd.'s P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Wave Life Sciences Ltd. 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 Wave Life Sciences Ltd. at 16.7× its FY25 revenue of $42.7 M. The P/E comes back here once profit turns positive. ## Is the Wave Life Sciences Ltd. business getting better or worse? Wave Life Sciences Ltd.'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. 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. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Wave Life Sciences Ltd. earn on its capital? Wave Life Sciences Ltd. earned a ROE of −39% in FY25. That is up from a low of −303% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 44.1 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −478.3% net margin and 0.07× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −478.3% net margin × 0.07× asset turnover × 1.21× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −40.5% 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: −47.6% − −3.5% = −44.1 percentage points. The −3.5% 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 Wave Life Sciences Ltd. have too much debt? Wave Life Sciences Ltd. has total debt of $43.6 M against shareholder equity of $454 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.10× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.74 in FY21 to 0.03 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Wave Life Sciences Ltd. shareholding pattern? 22.4% of Wave Life Sciences Ltd.'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 6.5 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 Wave Life Sciences Ltd. from balance-sheet trouble? For Wave Life Sciences Ltd., the Z-score is 4.61. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 4.61 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Wave Life Sciences Ltd. rank in its industry? There is no score against its industry: Wave Life Sciences Ltd. is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Biotechnology. 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 Wave Life Sciences Ltd. compared with?
