One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. These estimates imply that sales are expected to slow, with a forecast annualised revenue decline of 40% by the end of 2024. This indicates a significant reduction from annual growth of 134% over the last three years. Compare this with our data, which suggests that other companies in the same industry are, in aggregate, expected to see their revenue grow 17% per year. It's pretty clear that Taysha Gene Therapies' revenues are expected to perform substantially worse than the wider industry.
