Ardelyx: Limited Pipeline, Rising Costs, And Uncertain Growth Ahead (Downgrade)
Ardelyx, Inc. faces significant challenges in 2025 due to Xphozah's reimbursement issues and modest growth from Ibsrela, prompting a downgrade to "sell" and "market underperform." Xphozah's inclusion in a bundled system and loss of Medicare Part D coverage limits revenue potential, despite the company's $750 million annual sales guidance. Increased SG&A expenses and looming debt obligations raise concerns about Ardelyx's ability to achieve consistent profitability and fund necessary R&D investments.
