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).
