In other recent news, Corcept Therapeutics reported first-quarter earnings per share of $0.17, surpassing analyst expectations of $0.14, while revenue for the quarter was $157.2 million, falling short of the anticipated $177.9 million. Despite this revenue miss, Corcept maintains its 2025 sales guidance for Korlym, projecting sales between $900 million and $950 million. This forecast indicates significant growth, supported by a notable increase in Korlym prescriptions. Piper Sandler reiterated its Overweight rating on Corcept with a $131 price target, citing potential growth from its hypercortisolism treatments and opportunities with relacorilant for ovarian cancer. Meanwhile, H.C. Wainwright adjusted its price target from $150 to $145, maintaining a Buy rating, and highlighted challenges with pharmacy distribution as a factor in the revenue shortfall. The firm remains optimistic about Corcept’s future, particularly with the anticipated launch of relacorilant in early 2026. Additionally, Corcept’s management has addressed previous pharmacy distribution issues, which have shown improvement since March, contributing to a record number of tablets dispensed in the following months. The company’s strategic positioning and ongoing developments in oncology and endocrinology suggest robust long-term growth prospects.
