AI Summary
KRYS has shifted from a speculative platform bet to a commercially validated rare-disease company, with VYJUVEK materially de-risking the downside, but at an ~$11B valuation the stock now only has meaningful upside if international expansion and KB803/KB801 deliver clear execution beyond the already-high bar.
