- Stock action: Femasys (NASDAQ: FEMY) jumped roughly 46% on Oct. 16, 2025, trading around $0.80 by mid-day. (Previous close: $0.55). This spike followed news of the company’s upcoming fertility trade-show exhibition and broader industry catalysts.
- Key event: Femasys will exhibit at ASRM 2025 (Oct 25–29) in San Antonio, showcasing its new FemaSeed® Intratubal Insemination fertility treatmentglobenewswire.com. CEO Kathy Lee-Sepsick said, “We are excited to return to ASRM to share our next-generation… FemaSeed® Intratubal Insemination,” underlining the company’s focus on reproductive therapiesglobenewswire.com.
- Regulatory wins – FemBloc®: Femasys’ non-surgical birth control device FemBloc won key approvals in 2025. It received a CE Mark in Europe (June 2025), MHRA approval in the UK (Aug 2025), and MEDSAFE approval in New Zealand (Sept 2025). These endorsements make FemBloc the first in-office, non-surgical permanent birth control available in those regions.
- First sales & partnerships: Following EU approval, Femasys sold its first European order (~$400,000) of FemBloc to Spanish partners in mid-2025. In late Sept. the company announced a partnership with Kebomed to distribute FemBloc in France and Benelux, further opening the largest European markets. Globally, new fertility product partnerships were also struck: in Sept. Femasys teamed with Medical Electronic Systems (MES) to launch a FemSperm™ Analysis Kit – completing its suite of in-office sperm-prep tools for FemaSeed treatment. (In August it debuted the FemSperm Setup Kit and Prep Kit for gynecologists.)
- Other developments: Earlier this year Femasys announced Australian/New Zealand approvals for its FemaSeed infertility product and FemVue diagnostic, and a U.S. clinic partnership (Carolinas Fertility Institute) to roll out FemaSeed at eight locations. In August it priced an $8.0 million stock financing to fund commercialization (closing soon after) and reported Q2 2025 revenue of $0.409M (+85% YoY) with a smaller-than-expected net loss ($0.16/share vs. –$0.18 est.).
Femasys’ stock surge on Oct. 16 mirrors growing investor interest in its reproductive healthcare pipeline. The company’s FemaSeed™ technology is designed to boost pregnancy rates by delivering sperm directly into the fallopian tube, and published trials report more than double the pregnancy rate of traditional intrauterine insemination. Femasys is positioning FemaSeed as a first-line, lower-cost infertility option ahead of IVF. Meanwhile, FemBloc offers a first-of-its-kind permanent birth control that creates a natural scar in the fallopian tubes, avoiding surgery.
This week’s ASRM announcement – coinciding with broader fertility news – helped lift FEMY. Also on Oct. 16, national media reported an expected US policy to expand IVF access, which analysts say has indirectly boosted Femasys’ profile. By midday on Oct. 16, FEMY was up about 46% at roughly $0.80 (well above its 52-week low ~$0.31). (Intraday, GuruFocus.com noted a 30% jump to $0.72 amid the IVF news, reflecting high volatility.)
Financials: Femasys is still unprofitable with a small market cap (~$30M) and past-year losses. In Q2 2025 it reported $0.41M sales (vs. $0.22M year-ago) and a net loss of $4.59M (−$0.16/share), about flat with 2024ir.femasys.com. Cash on hand was only $3.2M at Q2-end, though the recent $8M financing (Aug) will extend its runwaystocktitan.net. The company expects this funding to “ramp commercialization of our FemaSeed® and FemBloc® offerings”stocktitan.net.
