$VRNA Merck at 80 in the fall would have been a pretty good buy. Verona on board now and Cidara on the way. Congrats to those who bought. I didn’t. Might next time I get some $.

$CYTK got its long awaited approval last Friday after the close. Attached is a worksheet that compares CYTK's valuation as a multiple of 10-year analyst consensus revenue estimates versus 4 peer M&A exits (peers being those with similar revenue projections). We do not have any information on CYTK's anticipated gross profit margin but the 4 peers forecast gross margins in the mid-90s. On first glance it appears CYTK's valuation appears a tad rich when compared to M&A valuations of peers like $ISEE & $VRNA with similar 10-year revenue projections. Any CYTK pipeline valuation would/should manifest in longer term revenue forecasts. We do not know much about CYTK & would appreciate sincere perspectives from those that do. We read rumors from 18 months ago that Novartis was considering buying CYTK for $100/share. Should CYTK have accepted the offer (if it was even real)? This is not investment advice. We genuinely want pro-CYTK perspectives. This is not investment advice. $XBI $IBB

$NBIX Crenessity product sales were $98MM in its 3rd calendar quarter on the market. We cannot let this go $VRNA was acquired for an enterprise value of just under $10B. VRNA's new therapy did $76MM in product sales in its 3rd calendar quarter on the market Attached we note valuations paid to acquire 7 NBIX peers that ranged from 100 to 140X product sales in their respective 3rd calendar quarter on the market. $MDGL Rezdiffra did a hair more than Crenessity in its 3rd quarter on the market. NOTE: MDGL has meaningful convertible securities that suggest its fully diluted market cap is 35% higher (see our post If NBIX's Crenessity merits a valuation multiple consistent with these peers, it suggests Crenessty is worth roughly $10 to $14B by itself. This does not consider NBIX's Ingrezza, approved in April 2017 that is on track to doing $2.5B in FY25 product sales. Using these peers/comps suggest there may be considerable upside to NBIX investors should NBIX ever consider an M&A exit. $XBI $IBB

$TNXP Pathway surely does not put any cap on peak sale itself. But as many MDs -- some even posted online -- pathway indicates novelty / efficacy of a drug, which in turn suggests many MDs take TNXP trial data with great suspicion, and may well avoid prescribing the drug due to significantly higher cost -- $11,000 a year, when primary efficacy shown in sleep, and secondary impact on pain management. Sale ramps must impact market cap. Why investors would give a valuation in year 2025-26, when peak revenue could be 5-10 years away! Check $TNXP price chart and compare it to $VRNA (got acquired for $10B with 600% appreciation post approval in ~a year), and $MDGL now at $12B. No doubt $TNXP must go lower further.

$TNXP Wait till Q1 2026 earning to get depressed with poor sale figures for Tonmya. It would take time to even cross $100M annual revenue rate (ARR) unlike $MDGL or $VRNA that had rapid sale ramp up. Isn't Seth a very low grade executive at the end? BTW, your fibromyalgia patients to revenue projection is WRONG -- Tonmya prescription would cost ~50% of what you posted. Of course a patient can have multiple prescriptions to be filled in a year, as fibro is chronic.

The attachment graphs Attruby sales from $BBIO versus $VRNA for their respective first 4 quarters on the market. Raw data is on the bottom right Note sales have been virtually identical by quarter. Yes sales do not consider TAM but are definitely a barometer for valuation. VRNA was acquired for roughly a $9.8B enterprise value. VRNA's gross margin was 94% before being acquired where BBIO was 96% last quarter. VRNA's patent expires in 2035 (years at which sales peak per VRNA forecast) where we understand Attruby in patented thru 3/2039. Investors should confirm Attruby patent life for themselves...we're not 100% sure). Obviously, BBIO sales do not consider Encaleret nor its remaining pipeline. BBIO's market cap is $12.80 at $66.90 per share per Yahoo Finance. This is not investment advice. $XBI $IBB $NBI

$VRNA I understadn this has been sold to $MRK, but the MAA for Ohtuvayre was withdrawn. https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/documents/withdrawal-letter/withdrawal-letter-ohtuvayre_en.pdf Due to the merger with Merck, "continuing the MAA process for Ohtuvayre is not aligned with current business objectives and portfolio strategy."

$AVXL the last few times i've seen such downward plays always have been right before some major announcements. Last time it was with $VRNA, where it was ridden down from $100 to $86, just to announce the "aStOnIsHiNg" buyout price of $107 a day after.

$IOVA $VRNA to put some numbers into perspective, $100K invested into $VRNA worth $600K+ in ~1 year. And $100K invested in IOVA, is worth below $20K after 1 year 8 months! One lost making 3,000%-3,500% (30-35x) investing in IOVA over VRNA. Too ugly of an investment for those who kept holding after the post FDA-approval jump, when stock moved from $3(pre approval) to $18(post approval) on first ever TIL hypes.

Yes, $IOVA has taken steps. More competent CMO and CCO, and layoff to save cost. But after huge price to investors already! For example, $VRNA got approval after IOVA, and yet acquired for 600-700% appreciation in a year at $10B since FDA approval. And IOVA trading at 1/6th price since the approval! GOSH! It's a great wonder how on earth Fred can be still employed as interim CEO for too long with such incompetency? A new CEO won't be hired until Wayne takes the initiative. Fred may get fired on day 1 by new CEO for: 1) super-low drug pricing 2) super incompetent sales ramp up 3) failed EU approval 4) inflated organizational costs 5) utterly nonsense TIL utilizations impacting the gross margin ... among others

$IOVA that's exactly right! Another factor comes in play is competition or drug superiority. For instance, $VRNA got a superior COPD drug, and got 600-700% growth at BO since FDA approval in Q2 2024. For $MDGL , price had been muted even with solid revenue growth as the firstever MASH drug due to upcoming competitions and the fact that it's not most effective drug. For $IOVA the decline from post FDA approval took some time, but take a look at $TNXP -- another very poorly managed stock -- infamous for FOREVER reverse splitting. I had been in TNXP only since last reverse-split, and sold positions as it went 1000% on HYPE. And then it LOST 70% value since FDA approval -- even BEFORE the drug is launched. Just because TNXP had another F-grade managements, many investors who got in after the FDA approval in August dumped due to fear of failure launch by a low caliber CEO.
