Acumen Pharmaceuticals shares rose in premarket trading Monday after it said it had positive preclinical data for its Alzheimer's disease treatment and said it expects to raise $35.8 million in a private placement.

Shares traded 30% higher ahead of the morning bell at $4.26.

The clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company said on Monday that new preclinical results from its Enhanced Brain Delivery program showed that its experimental antibody candidates reached far higher brain levels in nonhuman primates than standard antibodies. They also showed no signs of anemia in blood tests, and appeared suitable for injection under the skin, it said.

The company aims to file an investigational new drug application for its lead candidate by mid-2027.

Acumen also said it plans to raise the $35.8 million through a private placement with certain institutional and accredited investors where it will sell its shares at a price of $3.30 per share.

The stock has performed well so far in 2026, rising 55% since the start of the year to close on Friday at $3.27 a share.

The funds will be used to support its Enhanced Brain Delivery program, including continuing preclinical work to select a lead drug candidate. The money will also go toward general operating needs.
