Is Vertex Stock Worth More Than Its Competitors?

Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) stock trades at 29.0 times earnings. That valuation prices the company higher than Regeneron and Incyte, two of its biotech peers. Vertex does generate the highest operating margin among its group of five companies, but its sales are growing more slowly than at three of the other four. So how much more are you paying for Vertex, and what do you get for it.
