Analyst raises Alector price target to $8 on neurodegenerative drug progress and Genentech deal

H.C. Wainwright raised its price target for Alector from $5.00 to $8.00, maintaining a Buy rating due to progress in its neurodegenerative disease pipeline. Alector develops treatments for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's using its Brain Carrier platform to deliver drugs across the blood-brain barrier. The company secured a $100 million upfront payment from a licensing deal with Genentech, extending its financial runway to 2029. This deal could bring up to $1.17 billion in milestones plus royalties, supporting Alector's shift toward bispecific antibodies and nucleic acid therapies.

Alector's price target was recently raised to $8. For readers following the health sector, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Oct 14, 2026 23:21 WIB: out of 150 US health stocks, 78 rose and 71 fell.
