Standing thesis

The standing, falsifiable read: what has to stay true, and what would break it.

Compounder

Broken: Primary pillar broken — Achieve profitability and cash-flow positivity in 2026: Q2 FY26 net margin -1.2% vs target positive.

The bull case

Sarepta aims to be profitable and cash-flow positive in 2026. Revenue is guided to grow to about $1.3 billion in 2026. The company keeps research and sales costs between $800 million and $900 million. Its profit margin and cash flow strength support durable growth.

The bear case

Revenue is expected to decline about 25% next year. Costs may rise above the $900 million target. Profitability could weaken if new therapies do not gain market share. The CEO transition may cause uncertainty.

What's priced in

The stock trades about 12% below our fair value near $22. Analysts expect about 25% revenue decline next year, which is worse than management's 2026 revenue guidance. Our fair value is below the Street median, reflecting cautious optimism.
