Evan Seigerman has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Vertex Pharmaceuticals’ promising growth trajectory. The company is seeing positive momentum with its new product, Journavx, for the treatment of acute pain. The total prescriptions and new prescriptions for Journavx have shown a week-over-week increase, indicating strong market uptake and potential for significant revenue contribution in the latter half of 2025.
Additionally, Vertex’s management is actively working to ensure a successful product launch by securing broad coverage, enhancing physician awareness, and ensuring product availability. Beyond Journavx, Vertex’s robust pipeline, including promising developments in VX-548 and VX-147, as well as potential in earlier-stage projects like VX-880 for type 1 diabetes, further supports the Buy rating. These factors collectively suggest a solid foundation for future growth and share price appreciation.
In another report released on October 21, Bank of America Securities also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $563.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 101 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is positive on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders buying their shares of VRTX in relation to earlier this year.
