Cytokinetics (CYTK): Evaluating Valuation After FDA Approval of First oHCM Therapy MYQORZO

The catalyst here is clear: Cytokinetics (CYTK) just secured FDA approval for MYQORZO, its first commercial therapy for symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, turning years of clinical work into a real revenue opportunity.

Investors have been repositioning around that catalyst all year, with the 90 day share price return of 34.18 percent and a 1 year total shareholder return of 32.25 percent suggesting momentum is building rather than fading at the current 64.18 dollars level.

If MYQORZO puts cardiovascular innovation on your radar, it could be a smart moment to scan other promising healthcare stocks and see what else is gaining traction.

With shares already up sharply, trading about 33 percent below consensus targets and only a modest discount to intrinsic value, the question now is whether Cytokinetics is still mispriced or if the market has fully discounted future growth.
