what happened

Needham reiterated its Buy rating on Acadia Pharmaceuticals and kept its price target at $35. The target implies an 83.1% upside from the Oct 16 close of $19.12. The analyst note highlights the approved products NUPLAZID and DAYBUE, along with clinical programs targeting psychosis in Alzheimer's disease and Lewy Body Dementia.

Needham also reiterated its Buy rating on Harmony Biosciences Holdings, with a price target of $50. That represents 31.8% upside from the Oct 16 close of $37.95. Analysts expect WAKIX sales in narcolepsy to exceed expectations, and the orphan drug pipeline, including pitolisant, could widen treatment options.

why it matters

Reiterated ratings from a single broker rarely move markets on their own, since they reflect one firm's view. Biotech investors tend to focus more on clinical trial results and the sales trends the analyst cites.
