- 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. " (1/31/2019)
- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ". We reiterate our Overweight rating and $30 price target on ACADIA. We recently hosted investors for a meeting with ACAD management on our Post ASH-Thrash Bus Tour. One focus of investor interest was the progress made by ACADIA on the NUPLAZID franchise since the removal of the safety concern overhang precipitated by what we view as an unfounded negative media article regarding the drug in PDP. Recall that in September 2018, the FDA announced that the label for NUPLAZID adequately characterized the known risks and that the agency still viewed benefits as outweighing risks for patients with PDP, especially in light of alternative off-label antipsych drugs." (12/5/2018)
- 3. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "Our $60 PT is based on an equally weighted composite of: (a) $69/share, as a 35x multiple of taxed and diluted FY22 GAAP EPS of $4.09 discounted back to and (b) an NPV of $50/share (discount rate 10%, growth rate 2.5%)." (11/1/2018)
