Equal Weight
Reason
Morgan Stanley raised the firm's price target on Schrodinger to $19 from $18 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm sees a continuation of U.S. small-to-mid cap biotech's outperformance in 2026 as commercial names transition from "capital consumers to producers" and Large Cap Biopharma faces a looming patent cliff, the analyst tells investors in an outlook note for the group.

Reason
KeyBanc lowered the firm's price target on Schrodinger to $25 from $28 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. Coming off a choppy year for HCIT stocks, fundamentally, the firm did see a "year of inflection" for many of its names with estimate revisions plus valuations largely bottoming. While KeyBanc expects momentum to continue for most of its coverage, the firm does see valuation multiples impacted by competition concerns and regulatory impacts.

UBS initiated coverage of Schrodinger with a Neutral rating and $18 price target as the analyst initiated or assumed coverage on 22 small-to-mid cap biotech names. After a rough period, biotech fundamentals are now inflecting, contends the analyst, who expects investor confidence to recover and sees this positioning biotech for strong performance in 2026. Among the group, top picks include Apogee Therapeutics (APGE), Cogent Biosciences (COGT), Kodiak Sciences (KOD), Ideaya Biosciences (IDYA), Inventiva (IVA), SAB Biotherapeutics (SABS) and Ventyx Biosciences (VTYX), which the analyst highlights as having key upcoming catalysts, de-risked best-in-class portfolios, strong data, and broader pipelines.
