Read MoreHide Full Article

Wilmington, DE-based Incyte Corporation (INCY - Free Report) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of proprietary therapeutics.

Incyte’s lead drug, Jakafi (ruxolitinib), is a first-in-class JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor, approved for the treatment of patients with polycythemia vera (PV), patients with intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis (MF), including primary MF, post-PV MF, and post-essential thrombocythemia MF. Incyte continues to gain traction by Jakafi’s performance. Jakafi sales are being driven by patient demand. The company is also working to expand the drug’s label.

While Jakafi sales and royalties are a key component of Incyte’s revenue growth, Iclusig sales and Olumiant royalties are also contributing to the top line. In February 2017, the European Commission approved Olumiant for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Incyte’s earnings track record has been decent so far. Over last four quarters, the company’s earnings surpassed expectations thrice, while missing in one. Incyte delivered an average positive earnings surprise of 67.05% in the said time frame.
