Why is Insmed stock climbing today?

Insmed stock rose 2.0% in pre-market trading after the FDA accepted and granted Priority Review to its sNDA for ARIKAYCE, targeting a decision by January 28, 2027. The application seeks full approval for the drug, backed by Phase 3b ENCORE study results. Full approval would expand ARIKAYCE's use to newly diagnosed patients and those with recurrent infections. Insmed also plans to engage Japan's pharmaceutical regulator in Q4 2026 for potential label expansion.
