Centessa Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:CNTA) is one of the promising stocks to buy under $50. On January 8, Truist analyst Danielle Brill raised the firm’s price target on Centessa to $33 from $30, while keeping a Buy rating on the shares. This decision was made as Truist updated its model, but noted that the company’s fundamental investment thesis remains consistent with its 2025 view.

Needham also increased its price target for Centessa to $38 from $35 with a Buy rating on the shares on January 5. The firm anticipated that the company’s momentum would persist into 2026, driven by upcoming data from Phase 2a dose-escalation cohorts for ORX-750. Furthermore, Needham identified Centessa as one of the most compelling acquisition targets in the biotech sector for the coming year.
