Brainsway ( (BWAY) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On January 21, 2026, BrainsWay announced that Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, which covers more than seven million members primarily in Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia and parts of New York, has issued a draft medical policy to expand coverage for patients with major depressive disorder treated with BrainsWay’s accelerated Deep TMS protocol, including both adolescents and adults. The draft policy, expected to take effect in February 2026 following an open comment period, would cover the company’s accelerated SWIFT protocol—an intensive 38-session regimen delivered over six days of daily treatment followed by weekly maintenance—without requiring costly fMRI or neuronavigational equipment, potentially lowering operational barriers for clinics and broadening access. This development follows the FDA’s September 2025 clearance of BrainsWay’s accelerated depression protocol, supported by a multisite randomized non-inferiority trial showing response and remission rates comparable to standard Deep TMS, and signals growing payer acceptance that could materially strengthen BrainsWay’s market position in depression treatment and enhance reimbursement visibility for providers and patients in its core U.S. markets.

The most recent analyst rating on (BWAY) stock is a Buy with a $28.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Brainsway stock, see the BWAY Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on BWAY Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BWAY is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by improved profitability, strong cash generation, and a low-leverage balance sheet, reinforced by raised guidance and strong Q3 operating momentum. These positives are tempered by a demanding P/E valuation and technically stretched momentum signals that raise near-term pullback risk.
