Vertex: Latest Casgevy Data Highlights Efficacy Amid Slow Commercial Launch
Published: July 09, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated remains a Buy: its cystic fibrosis franchise ensures robust revenue for a decade, and its pipeline offers multiple long-term growth drivers. Casgevy's long-term data shows durable, life-changing benefits for SCD and TDT patients, but adoption is limited by a complex, intensive treatment process. Current Casgevy revenues are modest, but improvements to preconditioning and in-vivo approaches could unlock blockbuster potential by 2030.

Published: May 23, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated remains a buy despite recent share price weakness, supported by its dominant cystic fibrosis franchise and robust late-stage pipeline.

Vertex On Track To Significantly Improve Revenue And Earnings By 2030
Published: May 06, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha

Vertex Pharmaceuticals reported decent Q1 earnings, but the company missed estimates for both revenue and earnings. Vertex's diversification efforts are most visible in the progress of its pain management portfolio. The FDA approval of Journavx marks the beginning of a new era for the company. VRTX is not going to be the same company by 2030. I expect notable changes in its margin profile as the company diversifies into new markets.
