An announcement from Bright Minds Biosciences ( (TSE:DRUG) ) is now available.

On January 7, 2026, Bright Minds Biosciences entered into an underwriting agreement with a syndicate led by Jefferies, TD Securities (USA), Piper Sandler and Cantor Fitzgerald to sell 1,945,000 common shares at $90.00 each, raising gross proceeds of $175.1 million in a public offering that is expected to close on January 9, 2026, with the underwriters also granted a 30-day option to buy up to 291,750 additional shares. The company expects to receive about $164.4 million in net proceeds (or roughly $189.1 million if the option is fully exercised), which it plans to deploy into future clinical trials for its pipeline of drug candidates targeting absence seizures, DEE and Prader-Willi Syndrome, the initiation of Phase 1 trials for BMB-105, additional early-stage R&D, and general corporate and working capital needs, while agreeing to a 90-day lock-up on new share issuances by the company and its executives that could bolster investor confidence but temporarily cap equity dilution beyond this raise.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:DRUG) stock is a Buy with a C$142.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Bright Minds Biosciences stock, see the TSE:DRUG Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:DRUG Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:DRUG is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (pre-revenue, recurring losses, and negative free cash flow), despite a strong low-debt balance sheet. Technicals are notably supportive with price above major moving averages and positive momentum indicators, while valuation remains pressured due to negative earnings and no provided dividend yield.
