A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). Today ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. is in stage 1. The phase helps read everything below.

Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 7 weeks running.

This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row.

ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes.

ACADIA Pharmaceuticals is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list.

ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. earned $31.5 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +18.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $391 M. That is 10.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $26.7 M. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

For the full year, FY25 profit was $391 M (+72.7% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +16.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved +0.1 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +36.7% and revenue +11.7%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit.

ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. reported $308 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +16.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 22.0% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.1 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

The last four reported quarters add to $1.1 B.

FY25 revenue was $1.1 B, +11.9% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +11.7% on average, against 22.0% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +11.8%, against +13.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +71.3%, against +252.8% a year (rolling over).

ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s operating margin was 12.3% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.1 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between −43.2% and 9.8%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Across 5 years it has been between −43.2% and 9.8%, and FY25's 9.8% is the highest of them.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +0.1 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +1.6 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead.

Over the last 2 years, 43% of ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, a gap worth watching. In FY25 it brought in $110 M of operating cash against $391 M of profit. After $4.7 M of spending on assets, $105 M was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $5.3 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 0.2% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $5.3 M over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s P/E is 9.7×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 11% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 13.8×, over 2.3 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.

Keep one thing in mind: margins are the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks.

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +69.1% while the price moved −4.9%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range.

In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s business is giving mixed signals. There is no clear direction across the growth lines, with ROCE rising at 21.3%; each line tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 3 measures, with some gaps.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label.

One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result.

This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution.

Compound annual growth rate (%)

Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the stock price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.
