  • The company raised its FY2026 revenue guidance to $710 million-$725 million, above the market’s prior expectation of about $704 million, which suggests management sees continued demand strength.
  • HC Wainwright increased its price target on NovoCure to $52 from $46 and maintained a Buy rating, reinforcing optimism around the company’s longer-term earnings potential. Article Title
  • Wedbush also raised its price target to $20 from $18, but kept a Neutral rating, indicating improved expectations without a strong bullish call. Article Title
  • Shares also got a lift from optimism around the company’s brain therapy pipeline and possible FDA-related catalysts, which helped push the stock to new highs as investors priced in further upside. Article Title
  • HC Wainwright trimmed its FY2029 EPS estimate slightly to $1.90 from $1.95, a small caution on the company’s very long-term earnings outlook.
