Its lead product candidate, PYRUKYND (mitapivat), aims to treat hemolytic anemias by activating both wild-type and mutant PK enzymes. Additionally, Agios is advancing several other candidates, including tebapivat for lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes and AG-181 for phenylketonuria.
As of November 20, 2025, Agios boasts a market cap of $1.3 billion, with a trailing twelve-month earnings per share of -6.96. The company is set to report earnings on July 29, 2026, with estimates of -$1.99 EPS and $22.0 million in revenue.
Analyst ratings, like the one from Truist, provide valuable insights but should be considered alongside other factors such as company fundamentals and market trends. With a consensus rating of Buy among analysts, Agios Pharmaceuticals continues to attract attention in the biotechnology sector.
The move underscores a growing interest in Agios as it navigates the complexities of the biotech industry, where innovative therapies are in high demand.
