Cycle upside
High demand for specialized autoimmune therapeutic platforms.
§2 Bear case
In a sustained high-cost environment where CIDP expansion falters, valuation relies entirely on established gMG revenues.

ARGX (ARGX)'s margin set covers gross margin, operating margin, net margin, and free-cash-flow margin. The five-year trajectory is plotted so the reader can separate cyclical noise from secular trend.
Margin expansion or compression is read against the revenue base: if operating margin expands while revenue grows, that is operating leverage. If gross margin compresses, the cause (mix shift, input costs, pricing) is annotated in the numbers analysis.
Peer-relative margin context lives on the parent peers tab, which sets ARGX's gross, operating, and net margins against four to five named peers from the same archetype and sector.
FCF margin is reported alongside operating margin so the reader can spot cases where capex intensity changes the cash-conversion read even when reported profitability is steady.
