Can The Promise Of Profitability And Pipelines Sustain A Recovery For Esperion Therapeutics?
Esperion's recent rebound is driven by stronger-than-expected prescription growth, revived business momentum after Medicare coverage issues subsided, and good news flow from investor conferences. Management projects profitability by Q1 2026, but I am wary given current revenue, cash, and expense guidance—profitability claims seem optimistic without a clear revenue boost. Pipeline developments, including a triple-combo LDL-C pill and liver/kidney therapies, could be transformative, but near-term catalysts hinge on execution and proof of profitability.
