Street Calls of the Week
Investing.com - William Blair initiated coverage on Insmed (NASDAQ:INSM) with an Outperform rating on Wednesday. According to InvestingPro data, the company currently trades near its 52-week high of $130.13, with a market capitalization of $26.87 billion.
The firm cited potential for significant valuation increases driven by clinical and commercial execution with the company’s key products Brinsupri, Arikayce, and TPIP. The company’s strong commercial potential is supported by its impressive 21.15% revenue growth and healthy gross profit margin of 75.72%.
William Blair acknowledged Insmed shares have already risen over 450% since positive Phase III results for Brinsupri in bronchiectasis, compared to just a 2% increase for the XBI index during the same period.
The investment firm believes Brinsupri’s potential for a strong commercial launch in the multi-blockbuster bronchiectasis indication makes Insmed a "must-own name for investors."
William Blair also highlighted upcoming readouts that could expand market opportunities across all three products, potentially increasing Insmed’s peak sales to nearly $15 billion by 2035.
