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.
