Piper Jaffray analyst Danielle Brill downgraded Acadia Pharmaceuticals to Neutral and cut her firm’s price target for the shares to $19 from $61 after taking over coverage of the name. The stock closed Friday down 27c to $15.22. The recent negative headlines related to potential Nuplazid safety issues will continue to weigh on sales and the shares for the foreseeable future, Brill tells investors in a research note. Further, the analyst does not have a high level of conviction for positive data from Acadia’s near-term catalysts, namely the Phase 2 major depressive disorder data in September and the Phase 2 negative schizophrenia symptoms readout in the first half of 2019.
