Neuren Pharmaceuticals Ltd (NEU.AU) experienced a significant price surge of 5.30% during intraday trading on Tuesday, reflecting strong investor optimism following positive regulatory developments.
The stock movement appears to be driven by news that Neuren is expected to receive royalties from European Daybue sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027. This follows a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use regarding Daybue, which is used to treat neurobehavioral symptoms of Rett syndrome in adults and pediatric patients.
Final approval now depends on the European Commission's decision, which is expected in the coming months. Analyst firm Jefferies maintained its buy rating and price target of AU$28 on Neuren Pharmaceuticals, reinforcing positive sentiment around the company's prospects.
