Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) has been a focus in the biotech sector over the past few months. Despite some market dips, VRTX has consistently seen significant growth and has drawn the attention of investors and billionaires. This can be attributed to a series of landmark achievements such as impressive Q4 2024 earnings due to advancements in treatments for cystic fibrosis and diabetes, registering an 83% gain over the last five years, and crushing revenue targets with an $11B year. Additionally, VRTX's approval of its first-in-class treatment for adults with moderate-to-severe acute pain, JOURNAVX™ (suzetrigine), has only strengthened their market position. However, not all is rosy. VRTX's stocks took a considerable hit following some setbacks including missed Q4 earnings estimates and a study revealing that their painkiller's results matched those of a placebo. Yet, recommendations from market figures like Jim Cramer and its recent FDA approval of a non-opioid painkiller are causes for optimism, indicating promising potential for its future stock performance.
