VERU INC., Form 10-Q, filed 13 May 2026.
Read the filing on SEC.govWhat this means
- Not a bankruptcy filing, and not a prediction.

What else the numbers show
- 51.1% share-count increase The company issued stock. Each share now owns 33.8% less of the business than a year ago, before any change in the price.
- Cash burn is narrowing It is spending 49% less cash per year than it was, so the runway above is lengthening rather than shortening.
