If you believe LGND can sustain its 60.4% revenue growth and convert its 97.6% gross margin into stronger operating profitability, then hold or add selectively; otherwise, the 41.0% AMT-implied downside and rich 52.1x P/E argue for reducing exposure because the current valuation already prices in a lot of good news.
LGND’s current price of $319.55 sits above its AMT-implied value of $188.47, implying 41.0% downside. The stock is also above AMT-implied range midpoint and even above the upper AMT-implied bound, suggesting the market is paying up for LGND’s growth and margin profile.
