AUPH is also expected to report the first clinical data from AUR200 in Q2 '25, which might allow the opportunity for the company to one day grow beyond revenues from Lupkynis.

Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Appears Undervalued
Summary Aurinia Pharmaceuticals stock has dropped more than 80% due to disappointing Lupkynis sales since its launch in 2021.

With positive cash flow expected soon, a $150 million share repurchase plan, and strong financials, Aurinia is undervalued and worth considering for investment.

Aurinia Pharmaceuticals 2023 Earnings Review: Calling 'Time' In Last Chance Saloon
Summary Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc. stock price dropped 25% after underwhelming Q4 and full-year 2023 results. Sales of Lupkynis, indicated for lupus nephritis and the company's only commercial product, have failed to meet expectations. Aurinia has initiated a strategic review, exploring alternatives including a potential sale, but has been unable to find a buyer. Lupkynis appears to be an effective drug, however, its patents may expire in 2025, allowing generic drugs to enter the market, undercut on price. In short, the outlook for Aurinia in 2025 does not look good. The company is guiding for $200m — $220m of Lupkynis revenues, but profits are elusive, and the company directionless, it seems.
