Ardelyx, Inc. (ARDX) Stock on a Gaining Trajectory, Here’s the Reason

ARDX Launched IBSRELA

ARDX stock is on the rise following the launch of IBSRELA. Ardelyx announced on Monday that it would be launching IBSRELA, which is the only NHE3 inhibitor for treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation. The approval of the drug is based on a set of successful phase 3 trials that involved more than 1200 patients having Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Both trials were able to meet their primary endpoints. IBSRELA is the first product of Ardelyx that is approved by the FDA.

Biopharma Industry Having Smooth Ride

Biopharmaceutical companies are long been considered among the most stable companies concerning investments, hence considered among the fastest-growing sectors. With the pandemic making us realize the importance of the healthcare system and medication products, the role of pharmaceutical companies has been on a rise. This ultimately is forcing the investors to jump the ships from other sectors toward pharma.

What Could Happen with ARDX?

Since its IPO, ARDX has plunged more than 91%. However, during the last month of 2021, ARDX announced that it would be launching IBSRELA sometime in 2022. Since then, investors are flocking in to buy the stock. The company hopes that IBSRELA would generate annual revenue of more than $500 million, making the company’s financial position stronger than ever before.

Final Remarks

Looking ahead, the best strategy for the investor community is to invest for a longer period in ARDX stock instead of a short investment, which could prove to be a tricky scenario for them. Sure IBSRELA launch would provide an opportunity for investors to improve their returns, but this would not be the case in the immediate future. Hence, the best way to extract solid returns from the ARDX is via long-term investment.
