What are Wall Street analysts saying about ACADIA Pharmaceuticals stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about ACADIA Pharmaceuticals stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Acadia Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of small molecule drugs for the treatment of central nervous system disorders. Their three clinical programs are ACP-103 for treatment-induced dysfunction in Parkinson's disease, and ACP-104 and ACP-103, both for the treatment of schizophrenia. " (5/6/2019)
- 2. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "Our $60 PT is based on an equally weighted composite of: (a) $71.86/share, as a 35x multiple of taxed and diluted FY22 GAAP EPS of $3.50 discounted back to and (b) an NPV of $47.36/share (discount rate 10%, growth rate 2%). Risks to our investment thesis and target price include: (1) failure of Nuplazid in further clinical studies; (2) failure of Nuplazid to secure regulatory approval in further indications; and (3) failure of Nuplazid to achieve peak commercial revenue estimates in our model, due to market size, penetration rates, and pricing." (5/3/2019)
- 3. JPMorgan Chase & Co. analysts commented, "Dexcom posted another sizable sales beat, besting consensus expectation by almost $35M, and raised 2019 revenue guidance by $75M. The familiar topics of pricing and competition ruled much of the discussion, but there was little new on either front, in our view. Some revenue is expected to go toward higher operating expenses as the company invests in new markets, the Verily product, and G6 line extensions. We remain concerned that pricing pressures could arise—perhaps suddenly—but also may not occur for years. We frankly haven’t figured out what work to do to predict when or if insurers may push on price due to competition pricing lower. We remain Neutral as we feel we have no way to eliminate or estimate this risk but do believe DXCM shares will move higher should pricing fears not play out. CGM is good medicine and should be used by all MDI diabetics, in our view." (5/2/2019)
- 4. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "We are OW on ACAD with a 12-month PT of $30 based on NUPLAZID/pimavanserin in PDP/other neuropsych indications. NUPLAZID remains the only agent approved for PDP against a class of atypical antipsych drugs used off-label. In our view, new patient/revs growth should resume as an awareness campaign gains traction. We see increasingly visible broadening clinical evaluation of pima’ in DRP (and other psych indications) as fueling LT growth, and believe the PoS for these studies is underappreciated at current trading levels. Valuation Summary In valuing ACAD, we used a discounted NPV revenue calculation." (4/25/2019)
