Bear CaseDownside scenario
$11.0015%

Regulatory delays in securing the PTSD clearance push commercialization into late 2027. Increased competition in the non-invasive neurostimulation market slows down new system placements, and a shift away from lease agreements back to direct sales reduces long-term revenue visibility.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$17.0060%

BrainsWay achieves its full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $66 million to $68 million (representing 27% to 30% YoY growth) and delivers on its projected operating income margin of 13% to 14%. System shipments continue at a steady pace of 110+ per quarter, supported by growing payer acceptance of nurse practitioner-administered therapy.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$23.0025%

Accelerated adoption of the SWIFT™ accelerated Deep TMS protocol and rapid FDA clearance of the PTSD with MDD indication drive system shipments well above guidance. Enterprise accounts expand rapidly, pushing gross margins toward 78% and operating margins above 16% as recurring lease revenues compound.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.

Key Investment Merits

Thesis Invalidation Triggers
  1. A significant decline in quarterly system shipments or a contraction in the total installed base.
  2. Failure to obtain FDA clearance for the PTSD with MDD indication by early 2027.
  3. Material deterioration of gross margins below 70% due to pricing pressure or supply chain disruptions.
