$VRTX on pace to lose $15B in market value today.
6 May 2025
$VRTX - That was a bad quarter. Every product missed. Lower end of guidance raised -- who cares? Lots of handwaving around Journavx access but insignificant revenue. Casgevy is a money loser.
The stock is near an all-time high and trades at 26x, Vertex needs to do better.
The company seems more dependent than ever on its pipeline for future growth.
Analysts mostly shrug.

This marks an important step towards our goal of treating all people with CF.

Trikafta revolutionized treatment for Cystic Fibrosis, reaching >90% of patients variants.
But what about the remaining untreatable 10%?
We studied several poorly responsive, FDA-unapproved variants and paved a path forward for drug development.
