Axsome Therapeutics is a one-hit wonder rather than a broad pipeline of blockbusters. It has one good drug in Auvelity, and the rest of its drugs are very weak. Excitement around the upcoming PDUFA date is a chance to sell at a premium price. x.comÂ

Biotech Investor, AI-Driven Drug Discovery
Small- and mid-cap biotech looks like one of healthcare's more asymmetric setups after a four-year bear market, as AI speeds drug discovery and Big Pharma faces a patent cliff. Over $300B of pharma revenue goes off patent in the next few years, M&A is already ramping hard as pharma hunts for assets, and many small and mid-cap names still trade at reasonable valuations, making them potential takeover targets. x.comÂ
Definium Therapeutics has turned from a high-risk bet into a much safer biotech investment after its single-dose DT120 cleared phase 3 in three of four major trials, all headed to the FDA together.

Compass Pathways has de-risked its regulatory and cash path, shifting the question from survival to how big COMP360 can become. The FDA granted rolling NDA review for COMP360, its synthetic psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression, with filing on track for Q4 2026 and 26-week COMP006 Part B data due early Q3. A priority review voucher could cut review to about 1-2 months, and $466 million of cash funds it into 2028. It stays high-risk, with approval, scheduling, coverage and adoption ahead. … Show more
