Guggenheim based the rating on the company’s position as “a differentiated leader in next-generation psychiatry”, stating that the recent merger with Beckley Psytech allows complete ownership of BPL-003, the lead asset, which has exhibited “compelling” Phase IIIb efficacy and durability in treatment-resistant depression. The firm believes that BPL-003 is “uniquely positioned for rapid clinical adoption and commercial scale.”

JonesTrading also maintained a Buy rating on AtaiBeckley Inc. (NASDAQ:ATAI) on January 16 and set a price target of $16. The firm based the rating update on the company’s market opportunity and advancing clinical pipeline, stating that it is positioned for a data-rich 2026. Pivotal Phase II results are anticipated from all three of the company’s clinical programs in 2026, which hold the potential to considerably de-risk the story. JonesTrading also considers the lead compounds BPL-003 and VLS-01 to be well-suited for treatment-resistant depression, primarily because of their short duration of action supporting a clinic-based model similar to the commercial framework by esketamine.
