  • Collegium Pharmaceutical (COLL) Valuation and Share Price Analysis Amid Recent Swings
    January 18, 2026, 10:26 PM EST. Collegium Pharmaceutical (NasdaqGS:COLL) saw a 31% gain over three months but dipped 7% in the past month, with its 1-year total shareholder return at 36.7%. Trading at $45.60, the stock appears undervalued compared to a fair value estimate of $53.17, boosted by margin expansion and earnings growth tied to products like Jornay PM. However, the price-to-earnings ratio of 24.7x surpasses industry and peer averages, signaling possible valuation risks if growth slows. Investors face uncertainties including generic competition and sales scaling of flagship products. Careful analysis is necessary to balance the upside potential against these risks in this specialty pharmaceutical player.
