BioCryst Pharmaceuticals: Seasoned Blockbuster Makes It A Buy
BioCryst remains a "Buy" due to ORLADEYO's proven success, potential growth, and management's confidence despite significant competition and a one-dimensional revenue stream. Q3 2024 showed mixed results with a modest revenue beat and slight earnings miss, leading to a 13% stock drop on higher volume.
