What Happened?

Soleno Therapeutics (SLNO) stock is surging after the Financial Times reported Sunday that Neurocrine Biosciences is in advanced talks to acquire the company.

  • The deal could value Soleno in the low-to-mid $50s per share — implying a total value of more than $2.5 billion.
  • According to the report, talks are moving fast, and a deal could be announced as soon as Monday.

Soleno makes VYKAT XR, the first FDA-approved drug to treat hyperphagia — a severe and constant hunger that affects people with Prader-Willi syndrome.

There are no other approved treatments for this condition, which makes VYKAT XR a uniquely valuable asset.

The drug has only been on the market since March 2025, but the launch has been strong. In less than nine months after commercial availability, Soleno generated $190 million in revenue and became profitable for the full year, with net income of $20.9 million.

Q4 alone brought in $91.7 million in revenue, up nearly 40% from Q3.

HC Wainwright analysts estimate VYKAT XR could generate up to $2.3 billion annually at peak sales.

That kind of earning potential makes this a compelling acquisition for Neurocrine, which would be making its first major deal.

What the Market Is Telling Us About Soleno Therapeutics Stock

Soleno Therapeutics stock has been viewed as a takeover target for months.

The drug’s rare disease designation, strong launch trajectory, and lack of competition made it an obvious target for a larger pharma company looking to add a proven revenue stream.

Soleno Therapeutics stock was already up nearly 25% over the past week as biotech M&A activity broadly picked up.

SLNO Stock Valuation Model (TIKR)

For context, Soleno ended 2025 with over $500 million in cash, 859 active patients on VYKAT XR, and a clear path to expand into Europe and into new indications such as glycogen storage disease.

Neurocrine would be acquiring a business that is already profitable, growing fast, and has a significant runway ahead.

Soleno Therapeutics stock is now trading near the reported deal range, suggesting the market views the deal as likely to close.
