The company is also involved in the commercialization of Cholbam, a cholic acid capsule, which is approved as treatment for pediatric and adult patients with bile acid synthesis disorders due to single enzyme defects and for adjunctive treatment of patients with peroxisomal disorders, including peroxisome biogenesis disorder-Zellweger spectrum disorder and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome; and Chenodal, a tablet, which is approved for the treatment of radiolucent stones in the gallbladder, and under Phase 3 development for the treatment cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis.

The company was incorporated in 2018 and is headquartered in Foster City, California.

Today's Trend

Mirum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIRM) shares increased as investors weighed strong commercial growth and a higher 2026 sales outlook against an earnings miss and new regulatory uncertainty.

  • Second-quarter revenue reached $176.24 million, beating the $166.33 million consensus estimate and rising 37.9% year over year. Growth was driven by Livmarli and Mirum’s other bile-acid therapies. Management also raised its 2026 sales outlook, providing a favorable signal about demand and the company’s commercial trajectory. Mirum Pharmaceuticals Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
  • Analysts remain broadly constructive despite reducing their targets. TD Cowen lowered its target to $140 and retained a “buy” rating; Citizens JMP cut its target to $137 but maintained “market outperform”; and HC Wainwright reduced its target to $140 while keeping a “buy” rating. These targets imply substantial potential upside from recent trading levels.
  • Mirum reported a quarterly loss of $1.06 per share, wider than the $0.74 consensus loss and the $0.12 loss recorded a year earlier. The loss reflects continued investment in the company’s rare-disease pipeline, but it remains a near-term valuation concern. Mirum's Q2 Earnings Lag Estimates, Revenues Beat, 2026 View Raised
  • Citizens warned that an “unexpected” FDA request for a Phase 3 study clouds Mirum’s near-term outlook. The additional regulatory requirement could delay development or approval plans, increase spending, and weigh on investor sentiment.
  • Senior Vice President Jolanda Howe sold 1,840 shares worth approximately $193,734, reducing her direct holdings by 59.1%. The transaction was made under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan, which lessens its signaling value, but the sale still adds a modest negative headline.
