Shares of pharmaceutical company Supernus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SUPN) have rallied premarket on Wednesday after the company released its third-quarter earnings results after the close on Tuesday evening.Â
Supernus revealed that its Q3 revenue had risen to $155.1 million, compared to $102.1 million in 2019. $152.1 million of its revenue came from product sales while $3 million came from royalties.Â
