Ardelyx: Low Price, But High Implied Valuation

Ardelyx (ARDX) is rated Buy, driven by robust commercial execution of IBSRELA and XPHOZAH, and management's $1B revenue target by FY2029. ARDX's ACCEL Phase III trial offers significant upside optionality, potentially tripling IBSRELA's addressable market if successful. DCF analysis yields a base-case share price of $24.27, well above current levels, even excluding ACCEL trial upside.
