….. a huge Premium BUY OUT offer to wake up a sector

….. a huge Premium BUY OUT offer to wake up a sector.

 

Friday AMGN made an unsolicited offer to BUY ONXX for $10B or $120 a share.

Here is a list of Gappers at the Open today.  Notice how many BIOTECHS are at the top – ONXX, PCYC, LGND, MDVN, BMRN, ALXN, CELG, VRTZ, ARIA, ALNY, UTHR

This sector got clobbered as the street was disappointed by ASCO data after a huge run up since the beginning of the year.

Looks like this may wake it up.

As I often say on my webinars, do not look at just stock price.  Look at market cap on some of these smaller companies.  I think there will be a feeding frenzy as the big guys needs short term revenue and EPS growth while their pipelines mature.
