Evan Seigerman has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Vertex Pharmaceuticals’ strong position and potential for growth. The company is in the early stages of launching Journavx for acute pain treatment, and initial prescription data shows a positive trend with a slight increase in both total and new prescriptions. This indicates a growing acceptance and usage in both retail and hospital settings, which is expected to contribute more significantly to Vertex’s revenue in the latter half of 2025.
Additionally, the company’s management is actively working to ensure a successful product launch by securing broad coverage, increasing physician awareness, and ensuring product availability. Furthermore, Vertex’s foundational cystic fibrosis opportunity remains strong, providing a solid base for pipeline expansion. Recent developments in their pipeline, such as VX-548 and VX-147, have been promising, reinforcing confidence in their future prospects, including earlier-stage projects like VX-880 for type 1 diabetes.
According to TipRanks, Seigerman is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 5.5% and a 50.12% success rate. Seigerman covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Novo Nordisk.
In another report released on October 3, Bank of America Securities also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $565.00 price target.
