NEW YORK, July 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ovid Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: OVID), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to pioneering better, gentler medicines for brain disorders with significant unmet need, today announced several strategic appointments strengthening its executive leadership team to support the Company's next phase of development.

Ovid Therapeutics is rated a Buy, driven by risk-adjusted undervaluation and a $193 million cash runway through 2029. OVID's lead asset, OV329, targets drug-resistant epilepsies with a differentiated safety profile; Phase 2 trials begin Q2 2026. Secondary asset OV4071, now in Phase 1, pivots toward the lucrative schizophrenia/psychosis market, offering pipeline diversification.

Ovid Therapeutics is upgraded from 'Hold' to 'Buy' as OV329 advances past safety hurdles at higher doses. The company's OV329 demonstrates best-in-class potential, with a superior safety and pharmacologic profile versus first-generation Sabril, targeting rare epilepsies. Phase 2 expansion includes POC studies in photosensitive seizures, treatment-resistant FOS, TSC-associated seizures, and infantile spasms, with key catalysts in 2026-2027.
