Mid-week Tip
Orphan Disease Opportunity
Amryt Pharma (LSE: AMYT) 166.5p Mkt Cap £529m. It has proved to be adept at acquiring treatments with potential to build revenues and it has become a leader in rare and orphan disease treatments. Management has shown that it can identify acquisition opportunities that can enhance earnings. The focus is niche diseases that do not attract the interest of the large pharma companies. The latest acquisition was Chiasma, which has developed and launched Acromegaly treatment Mycapssa. This involved the issue of more than 1127 million shares and that has held back the share price since the deal was announced during May. The global market for Mycapssa is estimated to be $800m. The drug is priced at a level designed to facilitate access to the oral treatment, which is more attractive to patients than the injectable rival. The existing Metreleptin sales force is being used to sell the drug, while the Chiasma sales team can sell other Amryt treatments. Monthly orders in October were more than treble the January figure. Costs are being reduced and Amryt has identified a reduction of at least $50m a year. Revenues for the three existing treatments continue to grow and there is significant uplift potential from approval for Oleogel-S10. There could be further short-term volatility in the share price and investors need to take a long-term view. Buy.
