AUPH has seen some management changes, but activist investors demand more despite steady Lupkynis sales growth. The first quarter was strong in terms of sales in 2023 and 2024, and upcoming Q1 '25 earnings represent an opportunity to confirm that trend. AUPH is also expected to report the first clinical data from AUR200 in Q2 '25, which might allow the opportunity for the company to one day grow beyond revenues from Lupkynis.
Innovation is at its peak for the Zacks Medical-Drugs industry. AUPH, HRTX, ESPR, PYXS and PSTV may prove to be good additions to one's portfolio.
Things are heating up in the biotechnology space, with a flurry of recent initial public offerings and some notable insider purchases of the past week or so.
