Schrödinger, Inc. (NASDAQ:SDGR) and Copernic Catalysts announced on October 30, 2025, that they have surpassed the final technical milestone for Neptune, their jointly developed ammonia synthesis catalyst.

The breakthrough catalyst, designed to operate under milder conditions, achieved more than twice the ammonia yield of other similar technologies under real-world reactor conditions. Furthermore, industrial ammonia plant capacity could be boosted by up to 47%, potentially generating $110 million in annual profits per plant and reducing energy consumption by 23%. Following this achievement, Schrödinger, Inc. (NASDAQ:SDGR), alongside Copernic, plans to collaborate on a selective ethylene oxide catalyst. With this, they aim to reduce emissions and improve yield in large-scale chemical production.

Meanwhile, on October 8, 2025, KeyBanc reiterated its “Overweight” rating on Schrödinger, Inc., but reduced its price target from $30 to $28, according to The Fly. While noting mixed trends in healthcare IT spending, the investment firm expressed confidence in platforms demonstrating strong ROI, an aspect that is clearly reflected in the company’s computational tools.

Schrödinger, Inc. (NASDAQ:SDGR) accelerates molecular discovery for the life sciences and materials science industries by developing physics-based computational software.
