Shares of Blueprint Medicines rose after the company said its flagship drug Ayvakit could bring in $2 billion in revenue by 2030.
Shares were recently up 14%, to $99.70, midday Monday. The stock is up almost 15% since the start of the year.
The Cambridge, Mass., company on Sunday said in a 2025 outlook that Ayvakit could garner $2 billion in revenue by 2030. The drug treats Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis, which causes a buildup of abnormal mast cells in the body.
The company also shared results from its trial for BLU-808. Percy Carter, the company's chief scientific officer, said that the data from the trial indicated that the drug had "best-in-class potential."
In 2025, the company said it hopes to drive growth through revenue from Ayvakit and from the accelerated development of its BLU-808.
Blueprint expects Ayvakit to generate between $140 million and $145 million in sales for the fourth quarter, for a year-over-year growth rate of about 97%. The company expects to report fourth-quarter results in February.
CEO Kate Haviland was also scheduled to present at the 43rd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on Monday.
