Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Positive Phase 3 top-line results validate VR-205's potential, and a Japan NDA by 2026 adds a tangible near- to mid-term catalyst; potential revenue upside could lift Viatris' valuation, despite modest current scale of the Japanese IgAN market.
