Vertex Pharmaceuticals reports Q1 EPS $4.02, consensus $4.31

Reports Q1 revenue $2.99B, consensus $3.00B. “Vertex is off to a strong start in 2026, driven by leadership in cystic fibrosis; growth in sickle cell disease, beta thalassemia, and acute pain; as well as rapid pipeline progress,” said Reshma Kewalramani, M.D., Chief Executive Officer and President of Vertex. “CASGEVY and JOURNAVX delivered more than 25 percent of our growth this quarter, underscoring the strength of the increasingly diversified revenue base. As we execute across the commercial portfolio and pipeline and build our fourth franchise in nephrology, Vertex is poised to continue to deliver for patients and create long-term value.”
