The firm also pointed to Amicus’s solid financials—including a 90.6% gross margin and a current ratio of 3.34—and growing confidence in patient shifts toward PomOp over Nexviazyme/Lumizyme.

Morgan Stanley adjusted its sales forecasts slightly below consensus for Galafold and PomOp, but remains bullish due to Amicus’s recent licensing of DMX-200 for FSGS treatment. With strategic supply chain planning and U.S. inventory in place, management expects minimal tariff impact in 2025, reinforcing the company’s operational resilience.
