Exicure, Inc. has filed a Form 12b-25 notifying investors of a delay in submitting its Form 10-Q (Quarter Report) for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The late filing relates specifically to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarter Report) covering the three-month period through that date.
The company cites the need for additional time to finalize its financial results and related disclosures as the primary reason for the delay. Management states that filing on time would require unreasonable effort or expense, but does not reference any auditor change, internal control breakdown, or special committee review.
Exicure says it expects to file the Form 10-Q (Quarter Report) within the five-day grace period allowed under SEC Rule 12b-25. That implies the report should be submitted no later than five calendar days after the original May 15, 2026 due date, assuming the review process is completed as planned.
Based on preliminary, unaudited numbers, the company expects total revenue for the quarter to be $0, unchanged from the same quarter in 2025 due to a lack of revenue-generating operations. It anticipates a narrower net loss of about $1.83 million versus roughly $3.01 million a year earlier, and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.50 million as of March 31, 2026, down from about $3.7 million at December 31, 2025.
Management emphasizes that these figures are preliminary and may change once the financial review is completed and the Form 10-Q (Quarter Report) is filed, underscoring their forward-looking nature. The company confirms that all other required periodic reports over the past 12 months have been filed and that it is working to remain in compliance, with the notification signed by Chief Executive Officer Jung Soo Kim on May 15, 2026.
Spark’s Take on XCUR Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, XCUR is a Neutral.
The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (ongoing losses, highly unstable revenue, and worsening cash burn) with only partial offset from a debt-free balance sheet. Technicals are also soft with the stock below key moving averages and a negative MACD. Corporate events are mixed—governance/legal progress and pipeline milestones help, but major leadership turnover remains a notable risk.
