Alkermes (ALKS) News Today

Alkermes plc (NASDAQ: ALKS): HC Wainwright’s earnings revisions point to a brighter longer-term outlook, tempered by a lower near-term estimate and a Neutral rating. The updates could be a modest positive overall.

• Positive Sentiment: HC Wainwright raised its full-year EPS forecasts for 2026 through 2030: it now projects a narrower 2026 loss of $0.56 per share, followed by earnings of $0.24 in 2027, $0.08 in 2028, $0.86 in 2029 and $1.66 in 2030. The biggest increases were for 2027–2030, suggesting improved expectations for the longer-term earnings trajectory.
• Neutral Sentiment: Despite the improved forecasts, HC Wainwright maintained its Neutral rating and $50 price target, indicating a measured stance rather than a strong endorsement.
• Negative Sentiment: HC Wainwright cut its Q4 2026 EPS estimate to a loss of $0.28 from a loss of $0.23, signaling weaker expectations for that quarter.
• Neutral Sentiment: A separate report showed short interest at zero shares as of November 10. That may suggest little reported bearish positioning, though the figure could reflect a data anomaly.
