Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX) just released its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results, reporting revenue of US$805.5 million for the quarter and US$2.86 billion for the year, alongside higher net income compared with 2024.

Despite strong 2025 results and fresh guidance for INGREZZA, the share price has pulled back recently, with a 7 day share price return of a 12.1% decline and a 90 day share price return of a 13.5% decline, while the 1 year total shareholder return of 7.9% is still positive, so recent momentum has cooled compared with the longer term.

With the shares down over the past quarter despite rising revenue and net income in 2025, the key question now is whether Neurocrine looks undervalued, or if the market is already pricing in its future growth.

Most Popular Narrative: 30.9% Undervalued

Neurocrine Biosciences last closed at $124.12, while the most followed narrative pegs fair value around $179.59, creating a wide gap investors are watching closely.

A broad, late-stage and diversified CNS pipeline, including multiple Phase III programs targeting major depressive disorder and schizophrenia, leverages advances in precision medicine and increases visibility for future earnings, supporting potential future valuation multiple expansion.

Curious what kind of revenue path and margin profile could support that fair value with a discount rate of 7.12% and a higher future P/E than the sector? The full narrative unpacks how earnings, revenue mix and that projected multiple fit together into one valuation story.

Result: Fair Value of $179.59 (UNDERVALUED)

However, the bullish story can fray if pricing pressure on INGREZZA, or slower than expected uptake for CRENESSITY, takes hold and squeezes the earnings path underpinning that valuation.

Another View: Earnings Multiple Sends A Different Signal

That 30.9% gap to the $179.59 fair value is grounded in one set of assumptions, but the current P/E of 25.9x tells a different story. It sits above the fair ratio of 23.6x and the US Biotechs average of 22.2x, which indicates there may be less valuation cushion if sentiment or forecasts cool.
