Travere Therapeutics (TVTX) has drawn fresh attention after insider share sales were disclosed just weeks before an FDA decision on a potential Filspari label expansion in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a rare kidney disease.
See our latest analysis for Travere Therapeutics.
At a share price of $36.28, Travere’s recent 1 day share price return of 1.34% comes after a 5.05% 7 day decline. The 90 day share price return of 39.16% and 1 year total shareholder return of 90.95% indicate that momentum has recently been building, despite a negative year to date share price return of 8.20%.
If Filspari’s upcoming FDA decision has you thinking about kidney disease treatments more broadly, it could be a good moment to scan other healthcare stocks for fresh ideas.
With shares up sharply over the past year and trading below the average analyst target, the real question now is whether Travere is still undervalued or if the FDA hopes and future growth are already priced in.
With Travere trading at US$36.28 and the narrative fair value at about US$41.64, the valuation gap centers on how FILSPARI reshapes rare kidney care.
Expansion of FILSPARI's label to include treatment for FSGS, a rare kidney disease with no approved therapies, positions Travere for first-mover advantage in a large, underserved market. If approved, this will create a new, high-margin revenue stream and significantly expand the company's addressable market. (Revenue growth, gross margins)
Curious what kind of revenue curve and margin profile could support that higher fair value, and what profit multiple sits behind it? The full narrative lays out a detailed earnings ramp, shifting profitability, and a valuation framework that leans heavily on one therapy’s future performance.
The most followed narrative applies a 7.17% discount rate and ties fair value to expectations for strong revenue expansion, margin improvement and a higher future P/E multiple than the broader US biopharma peer group. It also assumes Travere grows into a much larger earnings base over the next few years, with share count increasing, which together support a higher equity value than today’s price.
Result: Fair Value of $41.64 (UNDERVALUED)
Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.
However, this hinges on FILSPARI avoiding regulatory setbacks in FSGS and on Travere managing heavy dependence on a single drug as competition and pricing pressure build.
