Company Report

Jazz Pharmaceuticals Earnings: Xywav, Rylaze, and Epidiolex Drive Sales; Shares Undervalued

Jazz Pharmaceuticals delivered solid first-quarter results, highlighted by a 12% increase in revenue from its combined key growth drivers of Xywav, Epidiolex, and Rylaze. These fast-growing drugs helped offset a 64% decrease in Xyrem sales, as total revenue increased only 1% in the first quarter compared with the prior-year period. Jazz's results are tracking our expectations, and we maintain our fair value estimate of $187 per share. We believe shares are trading at an attractive entry point in 4-star territory about 42% below our fair value estimate. We forecast Xywav, Rylaze, and Epidiolex will continue to deliver double-digit-percentage growth in 2024, and we anticipate Jazz will reach over $4.1 billion in total revenue.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The GW acquisition allows Jazz to reach patient populations with rare and severe forms of epilepsy with approved indications for Epidiolex as young as 1 year of age.

Bears

Jazz has been reliant on Xyrem, which contributed 15% of 2023 sales. Generics entered the market in January 2023 and are eroding Jazz's patient share.
