Narrative Update • May 23
TBPH: Cost Cuts And Royalty Streams Will Support Future Equity Reset
Analysts kept the fair value estimate for Theravance Biopharma steady at $21.00. Recent price target changes reflect the removal of ampreloxetine from some models, a shift toward Yupelri and Trelegy cash flows, and updated assumptions for revenue trends, margins, and P/E multiples.Narrative Update • May 08
TBPH: Future Returns Will Rely On Cost Cuts After Program Setback
Narrative Update Analysts have adjusted Theravance Biopharma's consensus price target to $15, with recent research highlighting the removal of ampreloxetine from models after the CYPRESS miss. This change is offset by a focus on Yupelri, Trelegy related cash flows, cost cuts, and a reassessment of risk that is reflected in a modestly higher discount rate and slightly weaker revenue growth and profit margin assumptions, as well as a P/E of about 205x.Narrative Update • Apr 23
TBPH: Restructuring And Royalty Cash Flows Will Reset Equity Story
Theravance Biopharma's updated analyst price target has moved from $26 to $21. This reflects analysts' removal of ampreloxetine from their models after the CYPRESS Phase 3 miss, as well as a greater focus on Yupelri, Trelegy related cash flows, and planned cost reductions.Seeking Alpha • Apr 21
Theravance Biopharma: A Special Situation With A 50-100% Likely Upside
Summary Theravance Biopharma Inc is a special situation where the downside is well protected by cash on the balance sheet, near term milestone payments, and near-term cash flow. The company is now ~$400M in cash, $100M in 2026 milestones tied to a sales goal that was easily exceeded in 2025, and ~$60 -$70M per year in FCF. YUPELRI is the only once-daily, nebulized LAMA maintenance medicine for COPD, with patent protection until 2039. It seems likely that Viatris would be better served by paying 7.7x for Theravance’s cut of the YUPELRI sales than they would by buying their own stock. As a Strategic Review Committee has recently 'accelerated' their work, it seems likely that this situation will be resolved within the next 0 to 6 months.
