Why PLSE stock is up today

PLSE stock rose 7.53% to $44.63 on Friday, driven by a series of analyst upgrades and positive developments in the company’s clinical trials. The stock opened at $41.69 and climbed steadily throughout the session, reaching a high of $44.63 at 2:45 PM ET. The move reflects renewed investor optimism following multiple price target increases and a virtual meeting with institutional investors.

What Happened

Pulse Biosciences announced that its management will meet virtually with BTIG, signaling engagement with key institutional stakeholders. This comes alongside a series of analyst actions. Mizuho raised its price target for PLSE to $45 from $30, while Canaccord increased its target to $43 from $32. Additionally, Canaccord reiterated a Buy rating and raised its target to $43. These upgrades were based on clinical progress in the company’s NANOPULSE-AF atrial fibrillation study, which has surpassed the enrollment midpoint since its start in April 2026. The company is scheduled to provide an update on August 6 during its earnings call.

What The Data Shows

PLSE traded at 1.1 times its 3-month average volume, with 0.4 million shares changing hands. The stock is currently within its 52-week range of $12.56 to $45.90, near its 52-week high. Despite the recent rally, the company remains unprofitable, with a trailing twelve-month EPS of -1.18. The stock has a market cap of $2.6 billion and a beta of 1.58, indicating higher volatility compared to the broader market.

What To Watch

Investors should keep an eye on the August 6 earnings call for further updates on the NANOPULSE-AF study and other clinical developments. This event could provide additional clarity on the company’s growth trajectory and potential for future analyst action.
