About the company

Bull case
Strong Q2 report with 39 % revenue growth and raised INGREZZA guidance plus new pipeline additions create positive momentum.
Bear case
The share trades below prior peak levels with high expectations priced in and limited news flow for the remainder of 2026.
Sensitivity analysis
| Factor | If it weakens | If it strengthens |
|---|---|---|
| INGREZZA sales | Lower than expected growth → reduced cash generation and lower profitability. | Higher than expected growth → strengthened cash position and room for further pipeline investment. |
| Phase 3 data for osavampator and direclidine | Failed or delayed readouts → limited pipeline diversification and lower long-term growth. | Positive readouts → new approvals and significant market expansion in psychiatry. |
