Mirum is a biopharmaceutical company specializing in therapies for debilitating rare and orphan diseases, with a focus on liver disorders. The company leverages its expertise in drug development to address significant unmet medical needs, driving growth through proprietary product commercialization. Its strategic emphasis on rare disease markets provides a competitive edge by targeting high-value, underserved patient populations.
For long-term investors, the most interesting signal here isn’t the share sale. It’s the willingness to let a position grow into one of the largest holdings in the portfolio while the stock is already up sharply. That tells you this isn’t about trading around short-term volatility. It’s about underwriting a business that is finally moving from promise to scale.
Mirum posted third-quarter revenue of $133 million (up 47%) and raised full-year guidance to $500 million to $510 million, driven by continued strength in LIVMARLI sales and expanding bile acid medicine revenue. Cash and investments climbed to $378 million by quarter end, giving the balance sheet room to fund multiple pipeline readouts without near-term dilution pressure. With this in mind, the share trim looks more like portfolio management than a loss of conviction, especially since the position’s value grew meaningfully thanks to price appreciation. Within the broader portfolio, this holding sits alongside other growth-oriented healthcare bets, reinforcing the idea that the manager is leaning into companies with clear commercial traction rather than binary clinical outcomes.
