Baird Lowers Bright Minds Biosciences Inc. (DRUG) Price Target to $126, Maintains Outperform Rating Ahead of Upcoming Trials

Bright Minds Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ:DRUG) is among the most promising stocks.

TheFly reported on February 13 that Baird lowered its price target for DRUG to $126 from $142 and maintained an Outperform rating on the shares. The update follows the company’s fourth-quarter results and reflects adjustments to the firm’s model as Bright Minds prepares for upcoming epilepsy and PWS trial initiations.

Separately, earlier on January 6, Bright Minds Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ:DRUG) announced positive topline results from its Phase 2 BREAKTHROUGH trial, which is assessing BMB-101. It is a selective 5-HT2C biased agonist, in adults with developmental and encephalopathic epilepsies (DEE) and drug-resistant absence seizures. In both patient cohorts, the study met its major effectiveness goals, which show significant reductions in seizures while also preserving a good safety and tolerability profile.

The reports show that the patients in the DEE group saw a median reduction of 63.3% in severe motor seizures, and a median reduction of 73.1% in seizures lasting three seconds or more in the Absence Seizure cohort. Beyond seizure management, the research also showed a noteworthy 90% increase in REM sleep without impacting overall sleep length, indicating possible cognitive advantages.

Bright Minds Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ:DRUG) is a biotech psychedelics company developing next‑generation serotonin‑based therapies that harness the therapeutic benefits of psychedelic compounds for treatment‑resistant depression, epilepsy, PTSD, and other neuropsychiatric disorders, aiming to improve safety and efficacy over first‑generation psychedelics.
