KIRA Β· Aclaris Therapeutics, Inc. had $7.8M of revenue in fiscal 2025, down 58.2% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +3.8% a year on average. Its operating margin was β975.9%, down 217.7Β pts: of every 100 in sales, about β976 is left after running the business.

Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from Form 4 filings. βPlanβ marks trades under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan.
