The main question: profits are rising, but only 43% of the last 2 years' profit came in as cash from operations. The gap between reported profit and actual cash is the thing to watch. ## What is the ACADIA Pharmaceuticals share price today? ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s share price was $21.24 at the close on 5 November 2026. It has been moving sideways for 7 weeks. That is 9.9% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $19 and $30, and at that close it sat 20% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 7 weeks running. Over the last 10 years the share price moved −39% while the S&P 500 moved +245%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 18 September 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does ACADIA Pharmaceuticals pay? 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. ## Which stock lists is ACADIA Pharmaceuticals on? 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. ## Is ACADIA Pharmaceuticals profitable? 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. 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. ## How much revenue does ACADIA Pharmaceuticals make, and is it growing? 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. 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). ## How much of every $100 of sales does ACADIA Pharmaceuticals keep? 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. 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. ## Is ACADIA Pharmaceuticals' profit turning into cash? 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. 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. ## Where does ACADIA Pharmaceuticals' cash go? 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. 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. ## What is ACADIA Pharmaceuticals' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s P/E is 10.2×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 19% 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. 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 −5.9%. 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. ## Is the ACADIA Pharmaceuticals business getting better or worse? 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. 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. ## How much does ACADIA Pharmaceuticals earn on its capital? ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. earned a ROE of 32% in FY25. That is up from a low of −54% in FY22. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 18.4 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 36.5% net margin and 0.69× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 36.5% net margin × 0.69× asset turnover × 1.27× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 32.0% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 27.4% − 9.0% = +18.4 percentage points. The 9.0% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value. The 27.4% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 42.9%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does ACADIA Pharmaceuticals have too much debt? ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. has total debt of $73.9 M against shareholder equity of $1.3 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.06× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.12 in FY21 to 0.04 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the ACADIA Pharmaceuticals shareholding pattern? 7.1% of ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.8 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is ACADIA Pharmaceuticals from balance-sheet trouble? For ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc., the Z-score is 5.43. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 5.43 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does ACADIA Pharmaceuticals rank in its industry?
