Valuation and Risks. We are raising our PT to $518 from $478 as the JOURNAVX launch reaches a critical tipping point, validated by Q4 prescription volume matching the prior three quarters combined and the strategic 1Q26 unlock of all three national PBMs covering >200M lives. Our increased penetration assumptions are underpinned by robust KOL enthusiasm for suzetrigine’s 76–90% opioid-free success rates in real-world procedures, providing high visibility into management's guidance to triple annual scripts as they double the field force to 300 representatives.

We continue to believe Alyftrek and follow-on CFTR correctors will maintain Vertex’s leadership position in CF ahead of competitor clinical data this year. Beyond CF, we view both Journavx and Casgevy as at relative inflection points as Journavx weans off its patient support program to enable more favorable gross-to-net pricing and Casgevy revenues remain volatile amid new patient uptake dynamics. Together these products are guided to do at least $500 million in revenue in 2026 (more than 185% year-over-year growth).
