Shares of Abeona Therapeutics rose after the company posted higher second-quarter net income and said the launch of its Zavaskyn drug was progressing with strong demand and insurance coverage.

The stock is up 10% to $7.23 and is up 44% over the past 12 months.

The company reported net income of $108.8 million, up from $7.41 million in the prior-year quarter. On a per-share basis, earnings were $1.71, compared with a loss of 26 cents a share last year.

Abeona said it received FDA approval in April for its Zavaskyn drug, which will be used to treat wounds for patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, a genetic skin disorder that causes fragile skin. Abeona said the first treatment is expected in the third quarter and that it had established positive insurance coverage with multiple insurance payers.

Abeona said it would produce enough supply to treat up to 10 patients a month by mid-2026.
