INSM stock surged 33.86% to $132.55 on Thursday driven by a combination of strong second-quarter results and raised revenue guidance for its flagship product, Brinsupri. The company reported 296% revenue growth and lifted its sales forecast for the year, with peak sales expectations now exceeding $14 billion. Jefferies also raised its price target for INSM to $175 from $160, adding further momentum to the rally.

What Happened

Insmed delivered a standout Q2 2026 with revenue of $425.5 million, a 115.1% increase year over year. The company attributed the performance to robust sales of Brinsupri (brensocatib), which showed significant growth in its respiratory therapy segment. In response, Insmed raised its full-year Brinsupri revenue guidance to a range of $1.25 billion to $1.40 billion and increased peak sales expectations for its three lead programs to more than $14 billion. Jefferies followed the news by upgrading its price target, reinforcing the positive outlook for the stock. The earnings call transcript and multiple reports highlighted the company’s progress in its pipeline and therapeutic development.
