Another View: What Multiples Say About Alnylam Pharmaceuticals

While the Alnylam Pharmaceuticals narrative leans on discounted cash flows and long term earnings power, the current P/E of 72.3x tells a tougher story. It sits well above the US Biotechs industry at 17.2x, the peer average at 29.4x, and even the 32x fair ratio that the market could move toward.

This kind of gap can mean investors are paying up heavily for future growth, so the key question is whether the earnings path here truly justifies such a premium.
