Intact: The reason to own it still holds.
Protalix aims for $78M to $83M revenue in 2026. Revenue grew from $9.1M in 2025-Q4 to $33.8M in 2026-Q1. The company is cheap with a PE of 16.9 versus peers at 21.7. Management is stable and momentum is rising.
Revenue could fall below $78M in 2026. Milestone payments from Chiesi may not happen. The company faces elevated risk and fragile quality.
The price is about 12% below our fair value near $2.68. Analysts expect about 8% revenue decline, but we see growth to $80.5M in 2026.
Breaks if: Major management turnover or instability occurs
Breaks if: Milestone payment not secured by end of FY26
