Collegium Pharmaceutical
Collegium Pharmaceutical's revenue rose 23.6% to $781 million in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was 23.0%, down from 26.9% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $328 million, up 61.1%. It paid out $25 million in dividends and buybacks, 8% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 1.8%.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.

Revenue and margins
Net income and earnings per share
From fiscal 2020 to 2025, earnings per share grew 17.9% a year and net income 18.6% a year, as new shares raised the share count by 13% and diluted each share's earnings.

Valuation
Two ways to value Collegium Pharmaceutical yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from Collegium Pharmaceutical's 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Collegium Pharmaceutical's fiscal 2025 free cash flow of $328M, net cash of $148M at December 31, 2025 and 40 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to Collegium Pharmaceutical: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 18.9% a year; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 9%: 7% for a stable business (Pharmaceuticals), plus 1 point as a smaller company, worth $754M, plus 1 point for unsteady results (a loss in fiscal 2022); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Collegium Pharmaceutical's earnings per share of $1.24 (over the last four quarters). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 18.7×, the middle of Collegium Pharmaceutical's own P/E today, its peers' median and its sector's median (Collegium Pharmaceutical's own P/E today) for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 10%, 9% and 8%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.
