Summary

  • Corcept is a profitable midcap biotechnology company specializing in treating Cushing's Syndrome, with significant potential for revenue growth and expansion into other therapeutic areas.
  • Recent study suggests Cushing's Syndrome is more prevalent than believed, leading to a significant expansion of its potential patient base.
  • Corcept has developed Relacorilant as a far safer and more effective drug than its current drug Korlym for Cushing's which has just gone generic.
  • Corcept broke the code defying Major Pharma for years and identified 1000 cortisol modulating compounds to address 17 diverse therapeutics areas with 10 currently in Phases 1, 2 & 3.
  • Despite a patent challenge, Corcept's stock is potentially significantly undervalued, with the company poised for five to 10 years of strong double digit percentage growth in patient count, revenue and earnings.
