Idorsia (SWX:IDIA) Stock Could Be Fully Priced On Current Sales

Idorsia has given investors a wild ride over the past few years, and the big question now is whether the current share price can be squared with the revenue the business is generating. With the stock having gone through both sharp gains and deep declines, the issue is how much of its sales power is already baked into today's valuation.

• Over the last 5 years the share price has fallen 79.8%, which puts the spotlight firmly on whether the revenue base can support where the stock now trades.

• For a pharmaceutical group like Idorsia, progress in turning its research pipeline into recurring product sales can shape expectations for future cash generation and the amount of capital it may still need to raise.

Is Idorsia Getting Expensive on Sales?

P/S works well for Idorsia because the business is still loss making and investors are effectively paying for revenue rather than current profits. On this yardstick, the shares trade on a P/S of 6.0x, which is below the broader Biotechs industry average of 10.5x and also below the peer group on 7.9x.

The tailored fair multiple for Idorsia on this metric is higher than the current 6.0x, which points to the stock screening as overvalued on this framework even though it sits below simple sector benchmarks. That gap suggests the market is already assigning a premium to the quality and risk profile of Idorsia's revenue stream relative to what the model implies, so anyone buying here is still paying up for the current sales base and the potential for that top line to change over time.
