Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:HALO) is a biotechnology firm with a unique technology platform enabling the conversion of intravenous (IV) formulated biologic and small molecule drugs to a subcutaneous (SC) formulation. Pharmaceutical companies license this technology to optimize their valuable therapies, generating predictable and durable royalties for Halozyme. The company has a robust pipeline of 16 products and over 10 companies leveraging its ENHANZE® platform, including a partnership with Argenx (another portfolio holding) for a subcutaneous format of efgartigimod, which could obtain approval in 2023. Today, Halozyme receives royalties on commercial sales of five products. Over the next five years, we believe its base of royalty-generating products could triple.”
