Net-Cash-Rich Vertex Pharma’s Lucrative Cystic Fibrosis Franchise Continues to Power Performance

by

Image Source: Vertex Pharma By Brian Nelson, CFA There are two primary sources of cash-based intrinsic value that we focus on at Valuentum—net cash on the balance sheet and future expectations of free cash flow. Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio holding Vertex Pharma (VRTX) ended 2022 with $10.78 billion in cash and cash equivalents and no debt, while cash flow remains robust. For example, during the first nine months of 2022, the company hauled in $3.05 billion in cash flow from operations and only shelled out $171.1 million in capital spending.

by

Image: Vertex Pharma has advanced more than 18% since the beginning of 2021, trouncing the performance of the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF by an incredible margin. The outperformance gap stands at more than 50+ percentage points at the time of this writing. By Brian Nelson, CFA We were blown away by the phase II results released March 31 at Vertex Pharma (VRTX) for its non-opioid, non-addictive pain killer, the NaV1.8 inhibitor VX-548, and we think the molecule has the potential to provide a solution to the widespread opioid crisis in a meaningful way.

Stock Market Outlook for 2021

by

By Valuentum Analysts February 8, 2021 2020 was one for the history books.

Global health authorities should be able to bring an end to the ongoing coronavirus (‘COVID-19’) pandemic sooner than many had expected as several vaccines have already been improved for emergency use and several others appear increasingly likely to get approved. Global vaccine distribution activities are currently underway, and this should allow the world to slowly return to pre-pandemic activities. Before then, immense stimulus measures launched primarily in developed nations should support global economic activities until the public health crisis … Read more
