Shares of biotech company Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:VRTX) jumped 6.2% in the afternoon session after Morgan Stanley upgraded its rating on the stock to "Overweight" from "Equal-Weight" and increased its price target. The new price target was set at $516, a notable increase from the previous $438. The upgrade reflected the bank's more positive outlook on the potential within Vertex's kidney drug pipeline. The firm specifically highlighted two drug candidates, Pove and Inaxaplin, as key drivers for this optimism. This positive view was formed ahead of the expected release of Phase 3 clinical trial data for these drugs in 2026, suggesting strong confidence in the company's future prospects.
