United Therapeutics Corporation’s stock was trading at $471.99 on January 15th, with trailing and forward P/E ratios of 17.89 and 15.15 according to Yahoo Finance. The company is a leader in pulmonary arterial hypertension treatment with a profitable franchise built around treprostinil.

Treprostinil’s mechanism of action enables pulmonary vasodilation, and United Therapeutics has successfully expanded its use in pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary fibrosis. The company’s strong financial position, with over $4 billion in cash and investments, allows for R&D funding and long-term initiatives like organ manufacturing.

United Therapeutics faces competitive pressure from other companies in the inhaled treprostinil market, but its multi-modal platform and patient support infrastructure provide a competitive advantage. The upcoming TETON-1 trial is a potential catalyst for further market expansion and growth for the company.

A previous bullish thesis on CRISPR Therapeutics AG highlighted the commercial potential of Casgevy and a strong gene-editing pipeline. United Therapeutics Corporation shares a similar bullish view, focusing on the expansion of treprostinil into idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and the upcoming TETON-1 trial for market growth.
