Vertex: Continuing To Dominate In CF, But What About Its Pain Pipeline?
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. Alyftrek's launch extends Vertex's CF leadership, patent life, and addressable market, while Casgevy and Journavx add new growth avenues. VRTX valuation is justified by stable CF cash flows, a strong balance sheet, proven management, and a diversified pipeline with multiple near-term catalysts.

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