Artisan Partners made the following comment about argenx SE (NASDAQ:ARGX) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“Among our bottom contributors were Argenx, Halozyme and Azenta. argenx SE (NASDAQ:ARGX) has given back some of its YTD gains despite sales for VYVGART—used to treat a chronic neuromuscular condition (myasthenia gravis)—pacing well ahead of expectations for the second straight quarter (2X higher than Street estimates). VYVGART’s outperformance has been demand-driven, with ~1,400 patients now on the drug (versus 380 in Q1). We believe the second indication for VYVGART will receive FDA approval in early 2023, and there is potential for the drug to treat numerous other rare autoimmune disorders longer term.”
