Halozyme Therapeutics HALO reported third-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings of $1.72 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.63. Earnings rose 35.4% year over year.
Total revenues in the third quarter increased 22% year over year to $354.3 million. Revenues too surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $337 million.
The top-line growth was primarily driven by an increase in product sales as well as higher royalty payments. HALO received royalty payments from Roche RHHBY for Phesgo and J&J JNJ for subcutaneous Darzalex (daratumumab), as well as argenx ARGX for Vyvgart Hytrulo.
Several companies use HALO’s Enhanze technology to develop a subcutaneous formulation of their currently marketed drugs. Halozyme now has several marketed partnered drugs based on this technology, including the subcutaneous (SC) formulation of J&J’s Darzalex, Roche’s Phesgo and argenx’s Vyvgart Hytrulo.
Year to date, shares of Halozyme have rallied 38.5% compared with the industry’s 12.1% rise.

Halozyme recently entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Elektrofi, a biopharmaceutical company known for its ultra-high concentration microparticle technology for biologics, branded as Hypercon.
The transaction is expected to be closed later in the fourth quarter of 2025 and should expand and diversify Halozyme’s drug delivery technology offerings for continued long-term revenue growth into 2040.
Per the deal, Halozyme will make an upfront payment of $750 million to Elektrofi, with up to three additional milestone payments of $50 million each, contingent upon regulatory approvals for three separate products.
