BCRX Historical PE Ratio Notes
— BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (BCRX) is a biotechnology company focused on developing & commercializing innovative therapies for rare & serious diseases, particularly in the fields of immunology & rare blood disorders. Their flagship product, ORLADEYO™ (berotralstat), is an oral therapy approved for the prevention of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks. BioCryst's pipeline consists of additional experimental drugs targeting conditions with high unmet medical need. When reviewing BCRX's historical P/E ratio, it's important to understand that as a biotech firm with a history of significant research & development expenses and, until recently, limited product revenues, the company has often reported negative earnings per share (EPS). This results in either a very high P/E ratio or none at all in many periods, as the calculation is not meaningful with negative earnings. Historical P/E trends for BCRX primarily reflect the transition from pre-commercialization (reliant on future drug approvals & milestones) to one where it is generating sales from its own marketed products. Investors should be aware that volatility in P/E history can be attributed to shifts in earnings expectations, regulatory milestones, & the market's evolving view of future profitability.
How should the BCRX historical PE ratio be determined?
Realizing that PE stands for Price to Earnings ratio, we need two values to compute it: stock price and earnings per share. The stock price at any given date is a known historical value, but what about the earnings number to use?
✔️Accepted answer:
There are a number of different approaches when it comes to calculating a historical PE ratio for a company like BioCryst Pharma. We like to take our measurements on each of the past quarterly earnings reports. That only leaves the question of whether the earnings number at that quarterly report should be used on an annualized basis, or some other method. We approach this question using three different methods, on this BCRX Historical PE Ratio page.
What is the average historical PE for BCRX based on annualized quarterly earnings?
As we look back through earnings history, what is the resulting PE calculation if at each measurement period we use that quarter's earnings result annualized?
✔️Accepted answer:
The BCRX historical PE ratio using the annualized quarterly earnings method works out to 21.7.
What is the average historical PE for BCRX based on trailing twelve month earnings?
As we look back through earnings history, what is the resulting PE calculation if at each measurement period we use the trailing twelve months combined earnings result in the calculation?
✔️Accepted answer:
The BCRX historical PE ratio using the TTM earnings method works out to 22.8.
What is the average historical PE for BCRX based on median TTM earnings?
As we look back through earnings history, what is the resulting PE calculation if at each measurement period we use the median earnings over the trailing twelve months and annualize that median result in the calculation?
✔️Accepted answer:
The BCRX historical PE ratio using the annualized median TTM earnings method works out to 0.6.
On this page we presented the
BCRX Historical PE Ratio information for BioCryst Pharma' stock.
The average BCRX historical PE based on using the annualized quarterly earnings result at each measurement period (for the "E" in the PE calculation; and the closing price on earnings date as the "P") is 21.7. Meanwhile, using the trailing twelve month (TTM) quarterly earnings result as our method of calculation the "E" value at each measurement period, the average BCRX historical PE based on this TTM earnings result method is 22.8. Note: any PE calculations involving negative earnings were discarded as not meaningful.
Let's now compare this BCRX historical PE result, against the recent PE: when this page was posted on 8/5/2026, the most recent closing price for BCRX had been 9.07, and the most recent quarterly earnings result, annualized, was 1.2. Meanwhile, the most recent TTM earnings summed to 0.655. From these numbers, we calculate the recent BCRX PE on 8/5/2026 based on annualized quarterly EPS was 7.6. Based on BCRX's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 65.0% lower than the historical average PE across our data set for BioCryst Pharma. Looking at the recent BCRX PE on 8/5/2026 based on TTM EPS, we calculate the ratio at 13.8. Based on BCRX's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 39.5% lower than the average PE across our BioCryst Pharma data set with TTM EPS used in the calculation at each period.
Another interesting BCRX historical PE Ratio calculation we look at is to take the
median earnings per share of the last four quarters for BCRX, and then annualize the resulting value... with that annualized number then being used in the PE calculation. To walk through this math for BCRX, we start with the past four EPS numbers and we first sort them from lowest to highest: 0.06, 0.14, 0.16, and 0.30. We then toss out the highest and lowest result, and then take the average of those two middle numbers — 0.14 and 0.16 — which gives us the median of 0.15. Basically the way to think about this 0.15 number is this: for the trailing four earnings reports, 0.15 marks the "middle ground" number where BCRX has reported a value
higher than 0.15 half the time, and has reported a value
lower than 0.15 half the time. Annualizing that median value then gets us to 0.6/share, which we use as the denominator in our next PE calculation. With 9.07 as the numerator (as of 8/5/2026), the calculation is then 9.07 / 0.6 =
15.1 as the BCRX PE ratio as of 8/5/2026, based on that annualized median value we calculated.
For self directed investors doing their due diligence on BCRX or any other given stock, valuation analysis for BCRX
