Schrödinger reports $255.9M revenue and 72% undervaluation as AI drug platform narrows losses

Schrödinger, a computational drug discovery and AI company, reported full-year 2025 revenue of $255.9 million with a narrowed net loss of $103.3 million. Despite positive financials, the stock has underperformed, trading at $12.06 per share. The company's share price shows mixed returns: 13.67% over 30 days and 32.93% year-to-date, whilst longer-term investors face losses despite 45.94% one-year and 82.66% five-year returns. Analysts suggest the stock trades at a significant discount to its estimated fair value of $43.20 per share, representing potential 72.1% upside. This valuation assumes strong recurring software revenue, robust margins and successful drug pipeline development. However, risks remain if clinical programmes fail or operating losses persist longer than expected.

Schrödinger reports $256M revenue, $5B milestone potential as firm shifts to cloud contracts

Schrödinger reported 2025 revenue of $256 million, up 23% year-over-year, with software revenue of $199.5 million and total annual contract value of approximately $198.5 million. The company narrowed its net loss to $103 million from $187 million in 2024 and ended the year with $402 million in cash. The company is accelerating a shift from on-premise to hosted, cloud contracts, with 23% hosted in 2025 and targeting roughly 75% by 2028. Management noted this transition will materially affect reported revenue timing and margins, with approximately $2–3 million revenue impact per 1% increase in hosted mix. Schrödinger highlighted its therapeutics portfolio with potential milestones up to $5 billion and upcoming clinical readouts, including WEE1/Myt1 Phase I data expected in Q2. The company is also exploring agentic AI integration with Anthropic.

Schrödinger hits $256M revenue with 23% growth amid hosted model transition

Schrodinger Inc reported total revenue of $256 million for 2025, marking 23% growth, with software revenue at $199.5 million and drug discovery revenue at $56.4 million. The company maintains a cash position of $402 million. However, the company's transition to a hosted model impacted margins, with software gross margin declining to 74% from 80% in 2024. Net loss narrowed to $103 million from $187 million the previous year. Annual contract value grew 4% to $198.5 million, whilst net dollar retention fell to 100% from over 110% previously, reflecting challenging pharma and biotech market conditions. For 2026, Schrodinger guides annual contract value between $218 million and $228 million, representing 10% to 15% growth, with drug discovery revenue expected between $55 million and $65 million.
