H.C. Wainwright raised the firm's price target on Praxis Precision to $258 from $232 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after meeting with management. The firm believes Praxis is "poised for nether breakout" with the relutrigine readout nearing. Management offered details that should ease an investor concerns regarding the interim readout for EMBOLD Cohort 2 which should bring relutrigine to market in 2026, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
Chardan raised the firm's price target on Praxis Precision to $330 from $80 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The company reported positive results from the Phase 3 studies of ulixacaltamide in essential tremor, which was an upside surprise given the very low expectations entering the event, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm believes the current data would be adequate to support a new drug application filing in early 2026 "despite some moving parts of the trials/data." Chardan models a "conservative" $2.5B in peak sales and 80% probability of success.
