SAGE Therapeutics (SAGE) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Sage Therapeutics Inc. has demonstrated a significant operational boost, evidenced by a 33% increase in prescriptions following a recent sales force expansion, alongside a 20% growth in demand across a broader range of territories. The company maintains a robust balance sheet, enabling it to support the development of its NMDA and GABAA platform, which is crucial for its long-term growth strategy. Furthermore, projections indicate total sales could reach approximately $400 million by 2028, bolstered by the anticipated success of its lead commercial product, Zurzuvae, in the treatment of postpartum depression.
Bears say
Sage Therapeutics Inc reported a fourth-quarter EPS of -$1.56, which fell short of the consensus estimate of -$1.51, driven by lower revenues of $12.8 million compared to the expected $14.4 million and increased research and development costs. Sales of Zurzuvae for postpartum depression in Q4 reached only $23 million, missing both internal and consensus projections, while the company also faces challenges due to a reduction in the percentage of patients receiving the drug for free, impacting future growth expectations. Additionally, there is concern regarding the execution risk of its drug pipeline, potential drug pricing controls from the government, and the instability in biotech capital markets, which may hinder the company's ability to secure necessary funding for its programs.
