Ardelyx (ARDX) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Ardelyx, Inc. has demonstrated strong financial performance with 4Q24 net sales of IBSRELA reaching $53.8 million, marking a significant 32.5% growth from the previous quarter, and an annual total of $158.3 million for 2024. Additionally, XPHOZAH reported net sales of $57.2 million in 4Q24, achieving a full-year total of $160.9 million, while projections for 2025 indicate continued growth with IBSRELA expected to generate net sales between $240 million and $250 million, reflecting an anticipated annual growth of approximately 52% to 58%. The company's proactive initiatives to enhance patient outreach and provide assistance through ArdelyxAssist for XPHOZAH are anticipated to bolster its market presence and support revenue growth, despite expectations of higher SG&A expenses associated with these strategies.
Bears say
Ardelyx Inc. faces a concerning financial outlook, largely due to stagnant weekly prescription volumes for XPHOZAH, which are projected to remain flat at 750, suggesting limited market traction. Furthermore, the company reported a net loss of $39.1 million for FY2024, driven by significant operational expenditures including $258.7 million in SG&A and a total cost of goods sold of $50.6 million, raising doubts about its financial sustainability. Additionally, there are substantial risks, including potential competition and pricing pressures that could reduce the commercial opportunity for both IBSRELA and XPHOZAH, coupled with the possible loss of access to a significant portion of the Medicare market by 2027, which collectively contribute to a negative investment outlook.
