The latest announcement is out from Ovid Therapeutics ( (OVID) ).

On December 18, 2025, Ovid Therapeutics reported Phase 1 results for OV350, the first known direct activator of the potassium-chloride cotransporter 2 (KCC2) to be dosed in humans, showing a favorable safety and tolerability profile with no treatment-related serious adverse events, predictable pharmacokinetics, and exploratory qEEG data consistent with central KCC2 modulation. The intravenous “tool” program achieved pharmacologically active exposure levels and provided key human safety and mechanistic data that underpin Ovid’s decision to halt further IV development of OV350 while accelerating its more potent, oral KCC2 activators, particularly OV4071, which is slated to enter Phase 1/1b testing in 2026 for psychosis associated with Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia and potentially other neuropsychiatric conditions, bolstering the company’s positioning in first-in-class therapies targeting neural hyperexcitability.

The most recent analyst rating on (OVID) stock is a Buy with a $3.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ovid Therapeutics stock, see the OVID Stock Forecast page.

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, OVID is a Neutral.

Ovid Therapeutics’ stock score is primarily influenced by its financial performance challenges, including inconsistent revenue and ongoing losses. However, positive technical indicators and recent corporate events, such as securing significant funding and regaining Nasdaq compliance, provide some optimism. The valuation remains a concern due to negative earnings and lack of dividends.
