SAGE Therapeutics (SAGE) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Sage Therapeutics Inc demonstrates a robust outlook driven by a 33% increase in prescriptions following a recent sales force expansion, alongside a 20% growth in demand for its products across a broader market. The company maintains a strong balance sheet, enabling continued investment in the development of its NMDA and GABAA platform, which are crucial for long-term growth. With projected total sales reaching approximately $400 million by 2028 and strong market potential for its lead commercial drug, Zurzuvae, in partnership with Biogen, the foundation for sustained financial performance appears solid.
Bears say
Sage Therapeutics Inc. reported a larger-than-expected loss for 4Q24, with an EPS of -$1.56, which fell short of consensus estimates due to lower revenue of $13 million compared to expectations of $14 million, and increased research and development expenses. The company's sales performance for Zurzuvae was disappointing, with Q4 sales of $23 million missing both internal and consensus forecasts, reflecting only a 3% growth quarter-over-quarter and raising concerns about the drug's market traction among postpartum depression prescribers. Additionally, ongoing risks related to drug pipeline execution, potential pricing control from government agencies, and challenges in securing capital funding further contribute to a negative outlook on the company's financial stability and growth prospects.
