- Sarepta Drug Safety Issues: Sarepta Therapeutics' Elevidys treatment faced a boxed warning after two patients died from liver failure, leading to a projected revenue drop to $1.86 billion in 2025 from $1.9 billion last year, indicating a sharp decline in market demand for its products.
- Teladoc Financial Woes: Teladoc Health, once popular during the pandemic, has seen stagnant revenue growth and a decline in paying members for its virtual therapy platform, BetterHelp, reflecting significant pressure on its market share amid increasing competition.
- Slow R&D Progress: While Sarepta is developing new drugs and expects early clinical data this year, these products won't hit the market soon enough to improve financial performance, and another pipeline candidate was abandoned due to patient deaths, heightening investor concerns.
- International Expansion Challenges: Although Teladoc's international revenue has grown, it is likely to face similar competitive pressures abroad as it did domestically, suggesting that its stock price may continue to decline, making it an unattractive investment.
