The average MKT CAP is $138.2 Billion.
The weighted average is $174.1 Billion...obviously suggesting Big Pharma players have the greatest number of BTD's.
The smaller subset of companies... that has only ONE approval totals 17.
The average Valuation of these companies is $8.23 Billion. Some private (4) companies got a BTD on very obscure indications...so a value of $8.0 Billion for a BTD could be reasonable.
A point of interest...ABBVie is # 5 on the list with 11 BTD's and Gilead has 4 BTD's.
The companies acquired After BTD total 12.
ALL the companies with 2 or more BTD's were swallowed up by Big Pharma.
ANY company with 2 or more BTD's would be in the HOT zone for acquisition.
*Market Size is the Determinant in BTD Valuation*
Acadia Pharmaceuticals for example has a Market Cap of $2.86 Billion and trades at $17.80 as of this morning. On the second BTD, it was averaging $50.00 Plus starting in late December 2019 and slid to $17-$18. in early September of this year. The patient population for their drug is 2.4 million...with only half currently being treated.
The slide in PPS is a result of the FDA finding deficiencies... in the application for its psychosis drug Nuplazid, which Acadia is addressing.
"Leronlimab is a PLATFORM technology drug and they could see a minimum of 2-4 BTD's in the coming year. Conservative revenues range from $2.1 Billion to $4.2 Billion exceeding all measures of blockbuster status". "This is clearly one to watch."__Theodore Zucconi, PhD in Chemistry, Masters Certificate in International Finance and Program/Project Management.
