Analysts predict Insmed will report a quarterly loss of -$1.30 per share and $103.42 million in revenue for Q2, reflecting a 33% year-over-year decline in earnings and a 14.5% revenue increase.

Institutional upgrades have bolstered confidence, with Mizuho raising its price target to $110, Wells Fargo to $119, and Goldman Sachs to $112, all maintaining "Buy" ratings. These adjustments follow positive Phase 2b results for TPIP in pulmonary arterial hypertension and the company’s $650 million fundraising effort, which strengthened its liquidity position.
