Jazz Pharmaceuticals JAZZ
Jazz Pharmaceuticals scores average on business quality (4.7 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What Jazz Pharmaceuticals does
Jazz Pharmaceuticals develops and commercializes therapeutic products for neuroscience and oncology, generating $4.6B in revenue by treating patients with complex medical conditions through specialized prescription drugs.
- What it does best
Jazz turns scientific complexity into cash, delivering an 88.4% gross margin that sits in the top decile of its sector. This pricing power stems from entrenched specialty neuroscience treatments that doctors cannot easily substitute.
- The main risk
Heavy debt loads threaten financial flexibility, with total debt at $5.4B and a low interest coverage of 3.5x leaving little room for error if revenue growth stalls.
Quality, check by check

Revenue grew 4.9% to reach $4.6B, continuing a steady multi-year expansion from $3.1B in 2021 but remaining in the bottom quartile of its sector.
Debt-to-equity sits at 1.2x with $2.4B in cash, while free cash flow reached $1.4B, showing solid cash generation despite heavy leverage.
