Biotech no longer a safe haven: Elan (ELN) falls on hard times

+3.43%
in

Filed under: Pfizer (PFE), Newsletters, Merck and Co (MRK), Stocks to Sell  It's been a tough year for many industries -- there's no denying it. Retailers of all stripes, oil companies, construction firms, financials, basic materials companies -- you name it, it's down.
So, are there any safe havens? Historically, in times of economic uncertainty the pharmaceutical industry, along with consumer staples, is often the "go to" place where, at a minimum, you can count on a nice dividend yield to shield your portfolio from gigantic losses. Not anymore. <>In this downturn even stalwarts such as Merck (...

Who's Next in the Biotech Buyout Frenzy?

<> The biotech industry is rapidly consolidating as big pharma companies put their cash stash to use in deals ranging from well-known large caps all the way down to unknown micro-caps in an effort to bolster their range of marketed products, late stage pipeline candidates, and drug discovery technology platforms.
Genentech (DNA) has rejected Roche's (RHHBY) $89 bid to acquire the remaining 44% of DNA it does not already own as insufficient. I think DNA could easily get $100 per share based on Eli Lilly's (LLY) $70 buyout of ImClo...

<> As I have written previously on Pfizer (PFE), I continue to recommend shares of the Company as a turnaround play around the $15 per share level, which equates to an even fatter dividend yield of 8.5% since I first wrote about the stock in July trading two bucks higher before the market meltdown occurred. Despite significant patent challenges to Lipitor and other products in Pfizer’s portfolio over the next few years, the Company’s strong balance sheet, marketing muscle, and ability to bolster its pipeline through targeted acquisitions should < />< />< />< />< />< />...

Biogen-Idec, Elan: Panic Selling Creates Interesting Opportunity
BIIB
-11.21%
in
326 days
In July, Biogen-Idec (BIIB) and Elan (ELN), who co-market the multiple sclerosis drug Tysabri, announced two new cases of PML, a potentially deadly side effect. The stocks sold-off almost entirely. Biogen-Idec lost about 30% of its market share while Elan has lost over two thirds of its value.
 I had previously recommended shares of Biogen-Idec right after the buyout rumors vanished and the stock was trading around 54. I had based that recommendation on the potential success of Tysabri.

Thank you, New York Times. Remember just a couple of weeks ago, when The New York Times wrote about how Genentech's (NYSE: DNA) (Cramer's Take) Avastin was too expensive and the stock got cracked down to $77? I know Roche did. I bet that was the last draw. The dramatic decline in the dollar plus a sentiment that has spawn...
