NBIXNeurocrine Biosciences shows strong fundamental performance driven by its pharmaceutical pipeline and a healthy balance sheet. Thematic tailwinds in neurological disorders are significant. Technical indicators present a mixed short-term outlook, suggesting potential for consolidation after recent price action.
Neurocrine Biosciences is well-positioned within the growing pharmaceutical sector, particularly in addressing unmet needs in neurological, neuroendocrine, and neuropsychiatric disorders. Advancements in treating conditions like tardive dyskinesia and endometriosis offer significant growth potential.
Neurocrine Biosciences demonstrates solid financial health with growing revenue and improving profitability. While the P/E ratio indicates a premium valuation, strong cash flow and a clean balance sheet support its growth trajectory.
The stock price has experienced a decline in the last month and is currently trading below key short-term moving averages. While long-term trends remain supportive, current momentum indicators suggest caution and potential for further short-term weakness.

Attractive Valuation Metrics
The stock's Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio (TTM) is 54.1, which, while higher than some sectors, is justified by strong revenue growth (1822.4M, +28.3% YoY) and expanding net margins (14.5% in 2024Q4 vs. 7.9% in 2021Q4). The Price/Sales (P/S) ratio of 7.1 is also supported by consistent revenue growth.
Strong Revenue and Profit Growth
Revenue has shown consistent growth, increasing from $1133.5M in 2021Q4 to $2355.3M in 2024Q4 (annualized). Net income has also grown significantly, with net margins expanding from 7.9% to 14.5% over the same period, indicating improving operational efficiency.
Significant EPS Misses in Recent Quarters
Recent EPS estimates have been significantly missed, with Q2 2025 estimate of $0.55 vs. reported $0.08 (-85.34% surprise) and Q1 2025 estimate of $1.56 vs. reported $1.0 (-35.92% surprise). This indicates a potential disconnect between market expectations and actual earnings delivery.
High P/E Ratio Relative to Earnings Growth
While revenue growth is strong, the trailing P/E ratio of 44.62 suggests a high valuation. The EPS for 2024Q4 was $1.24 against an estimate of $1.51, indicating a miss and potentially slowing earnings growth relative to valuation multiples.
