Ironwood Pharmaceuticals Overview: Ironwood focuses on gastrointestinal disorders with its sole marketed drug, Linzess, which has seen significant sales growth, leading to an optimistic revenue outlook for 2025. The company is also developing apraglutide for short bowel syndrome, although it remains heavily reliant on Linzess for revenue.

Puma Biotechnology Overview: Puma Biotechnology specializes in cancer treatments, particularly with its drug Nerlynx for breast cancer, which has shown modest sales growth. However, the company faces risks due to its dependence on a single product and competition in the crowded breast cancer market.
