Base and Bull scenarios

Base60%

Price target

$334.95

-36.3% from spot

The base case represents modal execution where Vertex maintains cystic fibrosis durability while ramping Journavx and Casgevy to achieve non-CF revenue milestones in FY2026. Operating margins expand gradually as launch spending normalizes, supporting sustainable high-single-digit earnings compounding.

Revenue expands steadily across FY2026 and FY2027 driven by sustained cystic fibrosis demand
Operating margin expands gradually through FY2029 as initial commercialization expenditures normalize
Non-CF products achieve commercial guidance milestones in FY2026 led by Journavx formulary access across institutional hospitals
Terminal multiple normalizes toward historical specialty biopharmaceutical averages discounted at the house cost of equity

Bull20%

Price target

$394.33

-25.1% from spot

In the upside scenario, next-generation Alyftrek transitions the global cystic fibrosis patient base seamlessly, securing monopoly cash flows past the next decade. Journavx rapidly penetrates surgical pain protocols across institutional hospital networks, and pipeline assets in renal and endocrinology deliver accelerated revenue growth, driving operating margin expansion.

Alyftrek solidifies global cystic fibrosis leadership with rapid patient transition extending patent exclusivity well past the next decade
Journavx establishes a non-opioid standard of care across major institutional hospital networks, achieving multi-billion-dollar peak revenue potential
Operating margin expands significantly on gross margin stability and operating leverage
Terminal multiple sustains near elevated valuation levels, matching trading multiples
