According to Cantor Fitzgerald, investors are generally anticipating more than $300 million in Amvuttra ATTR-CM revenue for the third quarter. These expectations continue to increase as Alnylam’s stock has shown strong performance leading up to the earnings announcement.
The research firm acknowledges Alnylam has "earned the benefit of the doubt" through its performance thus far. Cantor notes the company is "executing exceptionally well" on the Amvuttra cardiomyopathy launch.
