HeartBeam (NASDAQ:BEAT) Posts Earnings Results, Beats Estimates By $0.04 EPS

HeartBeam (NASDAQ:BEAT) issued its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The medical research company reported ($0.05) earnings per share for the quarter, beating analysts’ consensus estimates of ($0.09) by $0.04, FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $0.03 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $0.08 million.

Here are the key takeaways from HeartBeam’s conference call:

• Heart attack detection advanced toward U.S. FDA review. HeartBeam reported that its 132-patient ALIGN-ACS study showed similar overall diagnostic accuracy to a standard 12-lead ECG, and said FDA discussions support a 510(k) pathway. The U.S. pivotal study is still being finalized, with enrollment targeted for late 2026 or Q1 2027.
• The company completed enrollment ahead of schedule in its 486-patient HEADSTART-ACS study, with results expected at a cardiology conference in 2027. It also reported progress on its AI program, while stressing that heart attack AI results are preliminary, internal, and not FDA-cleared.
• Spending and cash outflow declined. Q3 operating expenses fell 35% year over year to $3.5 million, and operating cash use dropped 18% to $2.6 million. HeartBeam reported about $10.1 million in pro forma cash after raising roughly $4 million after quarter-end and lowered its 2026 operating cash-outflow outlook to $12–$12.5 million.
• The company remains pre-commercial for its heart attack assessment product, and FDA study design, clearance timing, reimbursement, and broader commercialization are not yet assured. Management expects a Nasdaq compliance extension and says it is pursuing organic compliance, while noting that future funding needs and potential dilution remain considerations.
