Big Money Keeps Buying Corcept

CORT discovers, develops, and commercializes medications to treat severe metabolic, oncologic, and psychiatric disorders. It focuses on the hormone cortisol, having discovered over 1,000 proprietary cortisol modulators. At the end of last year, the company submitted a regulatory application for another Cushing’s syndrome treatment. It also presented favorable findings on a relacorilant study.

As for its earnings, CORT is reporting for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 next month. In its last report, the company increased revenues by 48% from the prior year, to $182.5 million. CORT also upped revenue guidance to $675 million-$700 million. The company has continued repurchasing shares and has almost $548 million in cash and investments on hand.
