Moderna generates one-tenth of Bristol Myers Squibb's revenue, making their nearly equal valuations hard to justify. x.comÂ
Prime Medicine looks unusually inexpensive relative to its platform at a roughly $570 million market cap. Bristol Myers Squibb's deal includes over $3.5 billion of potential milestones, six times that value, plus royalties, and gives Prime a route into cancer and immunology; their value depends on success, timing and costs. Prime editing can make all 12 single-letter DNA substitutions and insert or delete DNA, and its first CGD patients reached 69% and 83% functional neutrophils by day 30. x.comÂ
Bristol Myers Squibb and Merck look expensive given the market's optimism about their patent cliffs. Bristol Myers trades at 13x and Merck at 16x 2028 EV/FCF, versus Regeneron at 9.5x, which is ridiculous. As @PCM_bio notes, Opdivo loses exclusivity in 587 days and Bristol has done little to address that or its other patent expirations. x.com x.comÂ
Regeneron is ridiculously cheap at 9.5x 2028 EV to free cash flow, versus 13x for Bristol Myers Squibb and 16x for Merck. @PCM_bio counters that its pipeline is weaker than those peers', but Regeneron has only about a third of their revenue. x.com x.comÂ
