I don't know why shares of Harmony Biosciences are collapsing lately. After running through my usual checks of public information and regulatory filings, including checking the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System, I don't see any new information. This is a relatively thinly-traded stock, so it wouldn't take much to trigger volatility.

Then again, the company has lost over 20% of its value in a few days on no news. This could be a spectacularly poor decision if there is a negative event that hasn't been reported yet. Today's price movement seems really strange…

I might find out soon. Harmony Biosciences reports full-year 2025 earnings on Tuesday, February 24 before the markets open. Will there be a negative surprise or will the commercial strength of Wakix bring everyone back to their senses again?

If you keep emotions and expectations in check, then you might be surprised to learn you don't need to swing for the fences.

Here's how shares of Harmony Biosciences will need to perform for the money invested in this Finch Trade to outperform passive investing in the S&P 500 in the next five years.

Assumptions:

  • The S&P 500 index gains 10% per year with dividends included – its historical average since 1990.
  • Harmony Biosciences averages 1.5% dilution per year in the next five years.
  • S&P 500 closing level on February 19, 2026 = 6,862
  • Harmony Biosciences investment = $30.75 per share

Margin of Safety & Allocation

  • This Investment: $30.75 per share
