Rapport Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotech with strong analyst conviction at a price target implying 49% upside and a 3-for-4 earnings beat streak averaging 9.9% positive surprise, but the company burns cash at -247% of revenue, carries a quality score of 1.9 out of 10, and an extremely elevated put/call ratio of 4.36 signals heavy bearish options activity.

About Rapport Therapeutics, Inc.
About Rapport Therapeutics, Inc.
Rapport Therapeutics' lead candidate, RAP-219, met its primary and secondary endpoints in a Phase 2a proof-of-concept trial reported in September 2025, showing a statistically significant reduction in both an objective seizure biomarker and clinical seizures in adults with drug-resistant focal onset seizures. Following supportive FDA feedback from an end-of-Phase-2 meeting in December 2025, the company expects to begin two Phase 3 trials of RAP-219 in the second quarter of 2026, targeting a $2.8 billion epilepsy market that is expected to grow to $3.6 billion by 2028.
Rapport has no approved products and generates no revenue; nearly all of its pipeline, including RAP-219 and its nicotinic acetylcholine receptor programs, was originally developed at Janssen Pharmaceutical and in-licensed under an August 2022 agreement that obligates Rapport to pay Janssen up to $76.0 million in development milestones and up to $40.0 million in sales milestones for RAP-219 products. Beyond RAP-219's focal-onset-seizure indication, the company is testing the same molecule in a Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial for bipolar mania, with topline data expected in the first half of 2027, and is developing a long-acting injectable formulation intended to improve adherence across all RAP-219 indications. Two earlier-stage discovery programs, RAP-641 for chronic pain and migraine and a program targeting the α9α10 receptor for hearing and vestibular disorders, round out the pipeline built on Rapport's receptor-associated-protein platform. Rapport reported net losses of $111.5 million in 2025 and $78.3 million in 2024.
Show full overview
Rapport's own risk factors state that its business is highly dependent on the success of its product candidates, particularly RAP-219 for focal onset seizures — a concentration sharpened by the fact that RAP-219 also carries the company's bipolar mania and planned PGTCS programs on the same molecule. A setback in the upcoming Phase 3 FOS trials, expected to start in the second quarter of 2026, would therefore not be contained to one indication: it would simultaneously cloud the bipolar mania readout expected in the first half of 2027 and the planned PGTCS Phase 3 start in the first half of 2027, since all three rely on the same TARP8-targeting mechanism.
