Forward Guidance
Looking forward, Amicus management projects continued revenue growth bolstered by expected favorable results from ongoing clinical trials, particularly for its ATGAA therapy targeting Pompe disease. The company's guidance anticipates revenue growth in the range of 20-30% for the next fiscal year, driven by operational improvements and expanded market penetration. Investors should keep an eye on FDA approvals and the management's ability to launch new products as key drivers of revenue. The reliance on Galafold sales, amidst broader industry competition, poses a risk that warrants careful monitoring.
