The Bull Case For Indivior (INDV) Could Change Following New SUBLOCADE Fentanyl-User Efficacy Data

Simply Wall St · 2d ago
  • Indivior PLC recently reported positive randomized, double-blind clinical trial results showing that both 100-mg and 300-mg monthly maintenance doses of SUBLOCADE® reduced opioid use and supported abstinence in people with moderate-to-severe opioid use disorder, without new safety signals.
  • A key insight from the post-hoc analyses was that the 300-mg monthly dose outperformed the 100-mg dose in participants with high-frequency fentanyl use, underlining SUBLOCADE®’s potential relevance for higher-risk opioid use patterns.
  • We’ll now examine how these SUBLOCADE® trial findings, particularly the stronger effect in frequent fentanyl users, influence Indivior’s investment narrative.

What Is Indivior's Investment Narrative?

To own Indivior, you have to believe in the durability of its opioid use disorder franchise, particularly SUBLOCADE, and in management’s ability to convert clinical and regulatory progress into consistent cash generation despite high debt and negative equity. The latest trial results, showing stronger outcomes for high-frequency fentanyl users, reinforce the core product story and could support future demand and pricing discussions, but the impact is more medium term than immediate. In the near term, the key catalysts still sit around execution on 2025 revenue guidance, uptake following the FDA label expansion, and the transition to a sole Nasdaq listing. The amended articles of association mainly tidy up governance for that shift, so they do not obviously change the risk profile, which still includes concentration in a single asset class and a rich earnings multiple.

However, there is one structural issue on the balance sheet that investors should not overlook. Indivior's shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued. Find out how large the opportunity might be.
