Investors are bidding up shares of the often-momentous Vertex Pharma (Nasdaq: VRTX) Tuesday morning following some bullish comments from Bernstein's Geoffrey Page earlier. The stock last traded at $54.60, up nearly 0.9 percent on the session.

Page said efficacy for Vertex's VX 509 oral inhibitor look promising in monotherapy. The analyst believes these oral medications will eventually erode the injectables market.

Bernstein maintains an Oupterform rating and $72 price target on shares of Vertex Pharma. Page's price target implies potential upside of about 32 percent from where the stock is currently trading.
