Thank you! The price of San Diego-based Acadia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ACAD) is currently $15 per share. The company pays no dividends and has negative earnings. However, they have drugs in development for the treatment of neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. The 1-year target estimate price on Yahoo is $25.28.

How would you rate the risk level of this company?arrow_forward
