Institutions keep buying Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (CORT) shares in big volumes, sending them up 1,016% since 2017 and on the cusp of joining the S&P MidCap 400 index.

CORT discovers, develops, and sells medications to treat severe metabolic, oncologic, and psychiatric disorders, focusing on the hormone cortisol (over 1,000 proprietary modulators) along with Cushing’s syndrome. Its second-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings report showed record revenue of $256.1 million (a 32% year-over-year rise), net income of $43 million (a 22.9% gain), $545 million in cash and investments, and raised 2026 revenue guidance of up to $1.2 billion.

It’s no wonder CORT shares are up 218% so far this year – and they could rise more. MoneyFlows data shows how Big Money investors are again betting heavily on the stock.
