FAQ

Why Bullish?

Share repurchases tend to support stock prices by reducing float. Historical repurchase programs in similar biopharma firms have often led to upward price pressure, reflecting management confidence.

How important is it?

The sizeable $500M authorization signals strong capital allocation and confidence, potentially influencing NBIX’s share price. However, inherent market risks and forward-looking uncertainties moderate the overall impact.

Why Short Term?

Repurchase programs generally provide immediate demand support and boost investor sentiment. Similar announcements have driven short-term gains in comparable stocks.
