Swedish Orphan Biovitrum Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 19.4x on those 2028 earnings, down from 25.4x today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the GB Biotechs industry at 28.6x.

Swedish Orphan Biovitrum Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• The growth rate, while positive, is relatively modest at 3% due to discontinuation of certain manufacturing revenues and seasonal impacts, potentially signaling limited expansion capacity which could affect future revenue expectations.
  
• The reliance on international expansion for products like Altuvoct is subject to reimbursement and regional regulatory challenges, particularly in markets like Spain and France, which could impact revenue growth if expected launches face delays.
  
• The intensified competition in some therapeutic areas, such as the competition Aspaveli faces from new oral medicines, may exert downward pressure on pricing or slow market penetration, affecting net margins and revenue.
  
• Stocking issues and adjustments related to Medicare Part D reform have negatively impacted Vonjo's quarterly performance, highlighting risks that might disrupt earnings consistency if not managed effectively.
  
• Fluctuating exchange rates and potential tariffs due to geopolitical factors could affect both revenue and EBITDA margins, as a significant portion of operations and sales occur in multiple currencies outside of the Swedish krona.
