@LeLionEtLeRat It's crazy. How can these companies be so naive and trust disclosing their IP to Wuxi ?! These companies $LGND and $KYTX are done. I wouldn't even be surprised if these Cos lose their FTO from patent and Tech theft.

@LeLionEtLeRat Thanks! The Chinese are losing this one. $VKTX got all the drugs they're developing right now from $LGND . So there is a paper trail of the development of these molecules. I do not see this as something that would impede a BO.

$VKTX Interesting... $lgnd has a strong track record in helping biotechs to get FDA approvals... Article from SA below. Ligand Pharmaceuticals ($LGND) rose 4.2% amid an investor pitch. The pharmaceutical firm was pitched by Sandy Villere of Villere & Co. in an interview on CNBC earlier on Wednesday. "Ligand is basically a chicken way to play the biotech industry," Villere said on the business network. "This gives you many many shots on goal for success." He highlighted that a $1.8 million investment that Ligand (LGND) made in 2010 turned out to be Viking Therapeutics ($VKTX) and their stake is now valued at $140 million. Ligand has a market cap of $1.2 billion, while Viking is valued at $8.8 billion. "I'm sorta making an investment in the 35 veteran scientists that work at Ligand to make these incredible investments and deliver shareholder returns over the long run," Villere explained. https://seekingalpha.com/news/4084624-ligand-pharmaceuticals-gains-amid-bullish-investor-pitch?mailingid=34840737&messageid=2900&serial=34840737.56&utm_campaign=rta-stock-news&utm_content=link-1&utm_medium=email&utm_source=seeking_alpha&utm_term=34840737.56

Today's Pick number three is $IRWD. Ironwood Pharmaceuticals develops gastrointestinal healthcare medications. IRWD appears to be considered oversold due to a combination of mixed results from its gastrointestinal drug trial and a miss in its Q4 2023 earnings expectations. Although the company announced positive outcomes from its Phase III STARS trial for apraglutide in treating short bowel syndrome with intestinal failure, the failure of its gastrointestinal drug to significantly aid a patient subgroup led to a sharp decline in its share price, erasing a 38% gain. The earnings miss further exacerbated investor concerns, with reported earnings per share falling short of expectations. $DVAX, $KURA, $LGND, $BHC For more details https://youtu.be/72VEwGgjaEw

Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ($IRWD) stock appears to be considered oversold due to a combination of mixed results from its gastrointestinal drug trial and a miss in its Q4 2023 earnings expectations. Although the company announced positive outcomes from its Phase III STARS trial for apraglutide in treating short bowel syndrome with intestinal failure (SBS-IF), the failure of its gastrointestinal drug to significantly aid a patient subgroup led to a sharp decline in its share price, erasing a 38% gain. The earnings miss further exacerbated investor concerns, with reported earnings per share (EPS) falling short of expectations​​​​​​. $DVAX, $KURA, $BHC, $LGND For more details https://youtu.be/QDW75yHzRo0

$IRWD Ironwood Pharmaceuticals develops gastrointestinal healthcare medications. The perception that Ironwood Pharmaceuticals is oversold appears to stem from a confluence of factors, including mixed results from its key gastrointestinal drug trial which led to significant share price decline, an earnings miss for Q4 2023, divergent analyst ratings ranging from sell to overweight with varying price targets, recent insider sales reported in SEC filings, and volatile stock price movements within a broad 52-week range. Additionally, social media sentiment suggests investor confusion and disagreement about the stock's valuation, considering the company's progress with its drug trials and potential market opportunities​​​​​​. $DVAX $KURA $BHC $LGND For more details https://youtu.be/5WSzPuYhAF0
