With Mirum now trading at a sizable discount to analyst targets despite brisk revenue and earnings momentum, investors face a familiar dilemma: is this a fresh entry point, or is the market already baking in the next leg of growth?
With Mirum closing at 68.48 dollars against a narrative fair value of 87.99 dollars, the stage is set around whether its growth runway truly merits that gap.
Multiple late-stage pipeline catalysts, including three pivotal study readouts (VISTAS, VANTAGE, EXPAND) over the next 24 months and the initiation of the Phase II Fragile X study, set the stage for further product label expansions and new indication launches, underpinning future revenue diversification and potential earnings acceleration.
Want to see what kind of revenue climb and margin shift might justify this bolder price tag, and why the implied future earnings multiple looks so punchy? Dive in to unpack the assumptions powering this narrative.
Result: Fair Value of $87.99 (UNDERVALUED)

While the narrative fair value points to upside, the market is sending a mixed signal on simple sales metrics. Mirum trades on a price to sales ratio of 7.5 times, richer than its fair ratio of 6.9 times, but cheaper than biotech peers at 10.7 times, so is this really a margin of safety or just relative value?
