Frequently asked questions
What is Wave Life Sciences Ltd's revenue?
Wave Life Sciences Ltd's trailing twelve-month revenue is $71.80M. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is WVE?
In its most recent fiscal year, WVE ran a gross margin of 79.28%, an operating margin of -504.09%, and a net margin of -478.33%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does WVE generate?
WVE produced $-188.21M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is WVE's balance sheet healthy?
WVE holds $602.07M in cash and equivalents against — in long-term debt, on $526.23M of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
