Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Came within reach: 97% of the predicted growth at its peak, just short of the target.
The thesis — published March 9, 2026
Recent company news makes the stock less risky on the downside even though the price pattern has not fully turned positive. A higher analyst target, a new buyback, and a big cash balance make it easier for the stock to be revalued if investors start liking the commercial biotech story. Best bought in smaller chunks.
Primary drivers
- New buyback reduces downside risk and shows discipline
- Big cash balance gives the company flexibility
- Analyst raising target improves short-term outlook
- Revenue from products and royalties spreads risk
