The attached table lists all 164 new commercial-stage non-oncology focused bios since 1/1/2013 (1st FDA approval) noting the share price as of the close on the day after FDA approval. Obviously non-public bios are excluded
Of the 164, 48 or 29% were acquired. Of the 48, 25 were acquired at gains (versus share price at FDA approval) & 23 were acquired at a lower share price.
19 of the 164 went bankrupt or were delisted where investors lost virtually everything.
Of the 97 still independent today, only 35 trade higher where 62 trade lower.
