Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Q2 2026 ACV rose 27% to $29.6 million, with 2026 guidance raised.
  • Drug discovery revenue jumped to $23.0 million, boosted by Ajax's $10 million milestone.
  • September 2026 Bunsen release and BMS deployment expand Schrödinger's platform usage sharply.

What critics are saying

  • Software revenue fell 10% in Q2 2026 as hosted migration still disrupts monetization.
  • Bunsen's early-access success depends on BMS adoption before end-2026 commercial rollout.
  • Reliance on collaborator milestones and cloud infrastructure creates existential execution risk if deals stall.

What makes Schrödinger unique

  • Physics-based Schrödinger platform still differentiates from generic AI drug-discovery tools in 2026.
  • Bunsen integrates with validated workflows, not chatbots, deepening Schrödinger's scientific moat.
  • BMS and Simcere partnerships validate Schrödinger's platform for scaled discovery execution.

Schrödinger announces strategic collaboration and software agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb to deploy AI co-scientist Bunsen.

Schrödinger announces strategic collaboration and software agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb to deploy AI co-scientist Bunsen. Aug. 5, 2026 Press Contacts Jaren Madden Matthew Luchini Theresa Masnik NEW YORK - Schrödinger, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDGR) today announced a strategic agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) to deploy Bunsen, Schrödinger's agentic AI co-scientist, within its research organization. Building on a long-standing partnership with BMS where they routinely utilize Schrödinger's industry-leading computational platform, the new agreement significantly expands the application of Schrödinger's platform, empowering BMS scientists to explore more scientific possibilities, prioritize molecules with greater confidence, and accelerate discovery decisions. Under the agreement, Schrödinger will collaborate with BMS scientists on developing novel functionality within Bunsen in conjunction with its computational technologies designed to enable large-scale chemical exploration as well as with RetroSynth, its AI-driven synthesis planning platform. Unlike general-purpose agents, Bunsen is optimized to execute Schrödinger's validated, physics-based computational platform by planning and running complex molecular discovery workflows and interpreting the results. "BMS is a long-standing customer and collaborator, and they have been an industry leader in integrating computation into drug discovery. We are thrilled they are deploying Bunsen at a large scale," said Robert Abel, Chief Scientific Officer, Platform, of Schrödinger. "Adopting Bunsen and our computational platform at scale will empower a broader group of scientists to embrace a predict-first computational approach." "Over the past several years, AI has become a key enabler for our scientists, allowing them to scale their creativity and scientific expertise across our research organization," said Stephen Johnson, Vice President, Computational Sciences, Bristol Myers Squibb. "Bunsen is another capability we are adding to that toolkit, one that allows our scientists to think differently about how physics-based tools can be used to navigate molecular design space and accelerate the discovery of innovative medicines for patients." About Bunsen Bunsen is Schrödinger's agentic AI co-scientist, built specifically for molecular discovery. Optimized to execute Schrödinger's validated computational methods, Bunsen helps researchers understand scientific objectives, plan computational strategies, execute sophisticated discovery workflows, and interpret results. By combining AI with physics-based simulation, Bunsen makes advanced computational methods more accessible and enables research teams to evaluate more hypotheses, systematically explore broader chemical space, and make higher-confidence decisions prior to experimental testing.
