    • PTC Therapeutics recently presented new clinical and real-world data on its PKU therapy Sephience at the 2026 SSIEM Symposium in Helsinki, highlighting reinforced benefits in lowering phenylalanine levels, diet liberalization, and sustained metabolic control across a broad PKU population.

    Some analysts were already far more optimistic, assuming revenues reach about US$2.1 billion and earnings near US$638 million by 2029, so if you compare that bullish view with the real risk that Sephience and a few therapies carry most of the growth burden, it shows how widely opinions can differ and why this new PKU data could shift both the upside story and the concerns investors focus on.
