Tempus swings to profit, raises outlook, expands cancer data reach
Q2 profit and raised 2026 revenue guidance Tempus reported Q2 2026 net income of $5.64 million, a swing from a $42.84 million loss a year earlier, and lifted full-year revenue guidance to $1.60–$1.61 billion. Turning profitable and raising the outlook supports the growth story and helps justify a higher stock price.

Personalis acquisition deepens cancer recurrence testing Tempus agreed to buy Personalis for $16.25 per share, a $1.5 billion enterprise value, adding minimal residual disease testing to its oncology platform.

The acquisition is a major strategic move that broadens Tempus's technology and data moat, affecting long-term growth.
