Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ALNY

09/25/2026: ALNY (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals is a pioneer in RNA interference (RNAi) therapy, holding a leading position in the development of gene-silencing medicines for rare diseases. The company's primary strength lies in its validated drug delivery platform and a growing portfolio of FDA-approved products like ONPATTRO and AMVUTTRA. The central investment story centers on the company’s potential to expand from rare orphan diseases into massive cardiometabolic markets. Key risks include intense competition from gene-editing modalities, high R&D-driven operating costs, and binary clinical trial outcomes. The stock is best suited for growth-oriented investors with a high risk tolerance, and observers should monitor upcoming clinical trial results and label expansion successes.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
ALNY receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, solid company fundamentals, and strong analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
ALNY has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, strong growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+212.8%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 12.5%) are partially offset by soft profitability (net margin 8.4%), very low insider ownership of 0.18%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
ALNY's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 52.0%). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is ALNY's strongest growth driver at +1192.7% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+65.2%, strong) and earnings growth (+212.8%, strong) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 101.7% and approximately 99.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.18%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Capital World Investors 8.33%
BlackRock Inc 7.81%
Capital Research Global Investors 7.29%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 4.85%

★★★★★
ALNY generates approximately $818 of gross profit, $135 of operating income, and $125 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins, cash conversion, and capital efficiency support the rating.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 2.91%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
ALNY has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
