Feb 13

Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) stock surged 5.21% during intraday trading on Friday, marking a significant upward movement for the biotechnology company.

The price increase follows a series of analyst rating upgrades and price target increases from multiple financial institutions. Morgan Stanley maintained a Buy rating with a $570 price target, while Oppenheimer upgraded the stock to Outperform from Market Perform. Other firms including Scotiabank, HC Wainwright, Stifel, and Bernstein also raised their price targets for Vertex Pharmaceuticals.

These positive analyst actions come after Vertex reported fourth-quarter earnings that showed revenue growth of 10% year-over-year to $3.19 billion and provided full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $12.95 billion to $13.1 billion. The company's diversified cystic fibrosis portfolio and pipeline developments appear to have generated optimism among analysts about its long-term growth prospects.
