In this article:

CPRX is a biopharmaceutical company that develops and commercializes therapies for rare and challenging diseases. The company’s FirdApps (the only evidence-based treatment for Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic syndrome) and Agamri products have both gained significant traction over the last year. Also, a recent court win related to a patent keeps the FirdApps intellectual property intact until February 2035, when generics can enter the market.

Earnings-wise, CPRX’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 report showed record revenue growth of 23.5% for the year, up to $491.7 million. The company has more than $517 million on hand for future initiatives – and best of all, no debt. FirdApps grew 18.3% year-over-year and Agamri generated $46 million after launching in March 2024. Per-share earnings came in at $1.31 per diluted share on a GAAP basis. Going forward, CPRX expects up to $565 million in revenue this year.

It’s no wonder CPRX shares are up 23% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
