That surge sits on top of a solid backdrop, with the share price return over the past year also firmly positive. This suggests sentiment is shifting toward Amicus as its rare disease portfolio matures and execution risks feel lower.
If Amicus has sparked your interest, it is worth seeing how it stacks up against other healthcare stocks that may offer similar growth potential or diversification in the sector.
After such a sharp rerating, investors must decide whether Amicus still trades at a discount to its long term potential, or if the market has already priced in the next leg of its rare disease growth story.
Compared to the last close at $14.18, the most followed narrative sees Amicus shares trading below an implied fair value of about $15.60.
The company's pathway to near-term GAAP profitability, supported by disciplined operating expense management and a high gross margin profile, lays the foundation for durable net income and strengthens the case for multiple expansion if current undervaluation persists.
