Turnstone Biologics, a La Jolla-based biotechnology company, has experienced a significant drop in its stock price after revealing that it substantially doubts its ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months due to expected operating losses and negative cash flows. The company’s shares fell by 38% to $1.36 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, following a 3% decline during the regular session, bringing the yearly drop to 15%. Turnstone Biologics relies on additional funding through equity offerings and debt financings to stay afloat but warns that it may not secure financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms. The company’s net loss for Q2 was $21.3 million, compared to $21.5 million last year. Despite positive initial data from a clinical trial for metastatic colorectal cancer treatment, the company’s cash reserves are expected to fund operations only until next year’s third quarter.
