This Analyst Believes Seagen Is Evaluating Strategic Alternatives

这位分析师认为,西根正在评估战略选择
Benzinga Real-time News ·  2022/06/30 03:30
  • Raymond James initiated coverage on Seagen Inc (NASDAQ:SGEN) at Outperform with a $220 target price. 
  • Citing the recent departure of the long-time Seagen CEO, Raymond James thinks that the Board of Directors is likely evaluating strategic alternatives for the company. 
  • The relationship with Merck & Company, Inc. (NYSE:MRK) has been long-standing. With Keytruda losing its patent and limited existing antibody-drug conjugate exposure, Merck could be seen as a viable bidder.

  • The biggest counterpoint to a potential buyout of Seagen is the cluster of potential patent expiry around 2030. The analysts estimate peak sales of ~$6.7 billion in 2030 but are likely below internal risk-modeled assessments.
  • "Overall, the expected growth of the existing Seagen commercial portfolio, significant optionality of label expansion for key programs such as PADCEV, and general increased interest in the ADC modality post-DestinyBreast-04, will likely support Seagen as a high-interest candidate," notes Raymond James.
  • Price Action: SGEN shares are down 0.15% at $178.40 during the market session on the last check Wednesday.
  • 雷蒙德·詹姆斯在以下日期开始覆盖SeaGen公司(纳斯达克:SGEN)强于大盘,目标价为220美元。
  • 雷蒙德·詹姆斯认为,董事会可能正在评估公司的战略选择,理由是长期担任Seagen首席执行官的雷蒙德·詹姆斯最近离职了。
  • 与中国的关系默克公司(纽约证券交易所代码:MRK)由来已久。随着Keytruda失去专利,并限制现有的抗体-药物结合物暴露,默克可以被视为一个可行的竞购者。

  • 对Seagen的潜在收购最大的对立面是2030年左右到期的一系列潜在专利。分析师估计,2030年的峰值销售额约为67亿美元,但可能低于内部风险模型评估。
  • 雷蒙德·詹姆斯指出:“总体而言,现有Seagen商业产品组合的预期增长、PADCEV等关键项目标签扩展的显著可选性,以及DestinyBreast-04之后人们对ADC模式的普遍兴趣增加,可能会支持Seagen成为一个高兴趣的候选者。”
  • 价格行动:截至周三尾盘,Sgen股价下跌0.15%,至178.40美元。
