Kicking this off for those of us with a stake here.


Drugs in sales phase: Orledayo. Treatment for HAE, company estimate for peak year sales is $500million. Competing with intravenous treatment while Orledayo is oral.

Pipeline molecules: BCX9930 has potential to be used for many renal diseases and others. This is a huge blockbuster if it works. They're about to start phase 2 of development here. This medication would potentially be used by a lot of renal diseases and other diseases. Huge potential a few years down the line here.


Currently I've sold 2 November $15 puts as i wade into a larger position.

Shoutout to BB88 for the stock tip.

So from what I can tell today this dipped because revenue dipped from last quarter. Last quarter was a 1 time payment situation so revenue was inflated.

Prescription based revenue was still up but growth was slowing a little.

However it appears based on competitor revenue slipping and prescriptions being up that they're now taking market share from the IV medications as expected.

At least that's the working theory at this point online.

But the million dollar question, is it already priced in?

Market cap of 2.2billion at this point. To me this seems pretty cheap. Especially if you give their pipeline Any kind of npv.

But this is a pretty risky venture. They've got a few years of cash run way currently. There's potential here for a capital raise at some point as well. They almost went through a $200 million dollar offering that was rescinded after negative sentiment.

No doubt a wise decision. These rollercoasters aren't for everyone and I don't really recommend them to anyone not doing their own due diligence. I do believe it's a decent company however the investment comes with some large risks such as shareholder dilution, competitive markets , and extremely small customer bases.

I’ve been in and out watching this stock since the late 1990’s. I seem to recall ties to Vanderbilt University Medical Center at inception. Bounced around $2 to $6 for what appeared to be decades. I’m happy to be back in the stock. Now in position to ride long term.

Ended up with my first 22 shares yesterday.
What a gift.

Wanted to originally buy below $10 in Q1, but I'll take $12.

Going to add this one to the rotation with AKBA and ALBO.

Which do you like better of the three? BCRX, AKBA, and ALBO?

Great tip on AUPH...hoping to get out around $45-50 if possible.

I think it was UAB.
Link LINK
“ In 1969, UAB hired a young scientist named Charlie Bugg to start a crystallography lab at UAB. Charlie initiated a strong collaboration with John Montgomery, a chemist working at Southern Research Institute (SRI), which is located adjacent to UAB. The collaboration between Charlie and John, and the establishment of the UAB comprehensive cancer center in 1971, led to one of the first structure-based drug design programs in the world, and ultimately the creation of Biocryst Pharmaceuticals (BCRX).”

I stand corrected. I was linking Bill Featheringill and his Vanderbilt connection. I do recall Charlie Bugg and the SRI connection. A long and winding road. And a ways yet to go.

I’m most heavily invested in AKBA, but that’s due to the investment plan I have for it.

All three are quite different. Give me a few days to further consider.
