    PTC Therapeutics Investment Narrative Recap

    To own PTC Therapeutics, you need to believe its rare disease portfolio, led by Sephience and supported by Evrysdi royalties, can offset concentrated product risk and ongoing losses.

That extra flexibility could matter if Sephience uptake or future regulatory decisions on Translarna and vatiquinone fall short of expectations, given the company’s history of net losses, high R&D spend, and the possibility of further financing needs.
