High Uncertainty and Risk of Earnings Growth Slowing Makes Telix Shares Appear Expensive

Telix’s strategy revolves around expanding its Illuccix distribution and investing in its product pipeline. Illuccix launched in April 2022 and was the second commercially available PSMA imaging agent for prostate cancer. It has gained significant market share due to changes in clinical practice and successful distribution. Currently, Illuccix is mainly used for staging suspected metastatic prostate cancer, which determines how far the cancer has spread beyond the prostate. If the cancer is in the early stage, this may be redundant. The adoption of Illuccix is also growing for suspected recurrence, monitoring, and patient selection for radioligand therapy. Telix has several distribution partners, including Cardinal Health, who operate the largest radiopharmaceutical network in the US and effectively distribute Illuccix to PET imaging sites.
