Vertex develops and sells medicines for cystic fibrosis, inherited blood disorders, acute pain, and other serious diseases.
Built from Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. / MA’s own filings with the SEC. Figures are as reported, with per-share history restated onto today’s share basis. This describes a business — it is not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
Vertex discovers, tests, manufactures, and sells prescription medicines. Its approved medicines treat cystic fibrosis, severe sickle cell disease, transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia, and moderate-to-severe acute pain; it is also testing treatments for kidney disease, type 1 diabetes, and other conditions. It sells mainly through specialty pharmacies, distributors, and wholesalers, with some gene therapy supplied directly to treatment centers.
Shares of revenue are estimates for quarter ended June 30, 2026, not figures from a filing.

Three ratings, each a percentile against the 585 companies we cover in Biotechnology. Deliberately kept apart rather than blended into one score — cheap, rising and well-run are three different facts, and a single number would hide which one is which.
Above most of its industry
The most recent month is left out on purpose: returns tend to persist over 7–12 months and the newest one tends to reverse. This describes what the price has done, and says nothing about what it will do.
Above most of its industry
Yields, so higher means cheaper — a loss-making company ranks last instead of dropping out. Cheap is not the same as good: a high yield is often a price that fell for a reason. All five measures available.
