The video also touches upon FDA designations and PDUFA dates. Here's a summary of what I learned and what might be helpful for you.

Preclinical Trials: these trials don't impact a company's evaluation that much because results from animals don't always translate to results from humans.

Phase 1 Trials: generally, there isn't much upside in this phase. That's because if the results are positive, it still needs to pass the other phases and thus stays in the status quo. If they're negative, you might be able to expect a negative evaluation of the company and it's stock. However, if the results are positive in patients and for a hard-to-treat disease, you can expect an upside for investors.

Phase 2 Trials: These almost always have human patients. Furthermore, these trials are the most difficult barrier to get by so positive results will clear a major hurdle. These trials will have a large effect on a company's evaluation.

Phase 3 Trials: These trials are the single biggest driver for a company's stock price. If they get past this stage, these companies get assigned a PDUFA date and have the potential to get their drugs approved and on the market.
