Reason
Wolfe Research analyst Kalpit Patel initiated coverage of Soleno Therapeutics with an Outperform rating and $75 price target. Shares have been weak following a slowing of new patient starts quarter-over-quarter, but the firm's survey results suggest that the safety concerns are "overblown" and the directional trend for utilization is favorable for the next one to two years, the analyst tells investors.

Overweight
Reason
Wells Fargo analyst Derek Archila lowered the firm's price target on Soleno Therapeutics to $106 from $123 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm says that while this is not the quarter it hoped for exactly, Wells still thinks Vykat XR will be a $1B-plus drug in Prader-Willi syndrome. The firm expects shares to be volatile through year-end 2025 on competitor data but sees the opportunity for shares to outperform on Q4 revenues amid low expectations.

Reason
Wells Fargo believes Acadia Pharmaceuticals' (ACAD) Phase 3 failure removes a near-term competitor to Soleno Therapeutics' (SLNO) VYKAT XR. Wells thinks Soleno's shares should trade up at least 20% on Acadia Pharmaceuticals' failure in PWS, Prader-Willi syndrome. The firm remains bullish on VYKAT's launch and would be a buyer at these levels into Q3 print. Wells has an Overweight rating on Soleno with a price target of $123 on the shares.

Overweight
Reason
Wells Fargo initiated coverage of Soleno Therapeutics with an Overweight rating and $123 price target. The shares are down 23% this month on concerns over Vykat's satiety, competition and and its recent financing which could be a sign of no near-term takeover, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Wells views the concerns as overblown. Vykat's launch in Prader-Willi syndrome remains early, and the significant unmet should drive meaningful near-term uptake, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Wells recommends buying Soleno shares on the recent pullback.
About SLNO
