Ventyx (VTYX)

Acquired by Lilly

Ventyx is well-positioned to reverse its fortunes in 2025. It's fully funded to deliver on three clinical trials, including a high-profile obesity readout... Sanofi has its toe in the water and could take the full plunge on VTX3232. It's a name investors should have on their radar.

Xenon (XENE)

We believe XEN1101 has an excellent chance of success in X-TOLE, given it's a next-gen Kv7 agonist built off the same scaffold as FDA-approved AED ezogabine and the positive pharmacodynamic TMS data generated in their Ph1b study.

Bright Minds (DRUG)

Like most microcap biotechs, Bright Minds had a bumpy last few years, but when we saw the recent investor excitement around Longboard and their 5HT2c product, we thought it was a speculative name worth revisiting.
