via As growth in Vertex's cystic fibrosis portfolio buoys the company amid the launch of gene therapy Casgevy, the company is feeling confident enough to boost its revenue outlook for the year.

After collecting $2.65 billion in second-quarter revenues, representing a 6% uptick from last year’s second quarter, Vertex lifted its full-year sales guidance to a range of $10.65 billion to $10.85 billion. The new forecast adds $100 million on either end of the company's prior guidance.
