The medical devices and novel treatments United Therapeutics Corporation (UTHR) develops to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and other ailments are attracting substantial Big Money investment.

The biotechnology company offers four medicines to treat PAH, which is a form of elevated blood pressure in the lungs, as well as treatments for other diseases. It also conducts cutting-edge medical research, which could bring longer-term growth opportunities. Additionally, UTHR recently began a partnership to use AI to diagnose unrecognized PAH cases.

The company’s financial performance is capturing investor attention too. In its March report, the company showed 33.7% revenue growth and a net margin of 45.2%. UTHR also has a low debt-to-equity ratio of just 0.11, reflecting a small use of debt financing and conservative cash management.

It’s no wonder UTHR shares are up 44% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
