Investment Thesis

Bull Case

  • Revenue acceleration — both products growing >70% YoY; IBSRELA Q3 $78.2M (+92% YoY)
  • Only non-secretagogue in IBS-C — 77% of patients on secretagogues still symptomatic
  • XPHOZAH addresses massive unmet need — 50% of dialysis patients have uncontrolled phosphorus

Bear Case

  • Patent cliff in August 2033 limits peak value capture; RDX10531 next-gen in development
  • Single molecule risk — both products are tenapanor; any safety signal affects both
