The Swami Was Right: Lilly Buys ImClone
The WSJ is reporting this morning Eli Lilly has inked a $6.5B deal to buy ImClone.
I guess the Swami was right.
Swami Predicts ImClone’s Future
Me: Swami, thanks for taking my call. With the credit markets in turmoil and this election business seeping into daily conversation, you must be mighty busy. Anyway, might you be able to find the time to predict the outcome of the ImClone / BMS / Lilly acquisition? Mind you, I have no financial position in [...]

Does someone have some cash burning a hole in their knickers? BMS has been on fire in the last six months divesting non-core [...]
Icahn Responds to BMS Offer for ImClone
I love a little Icahn in the morning.
ImClone released a statement this morning indicating that the BMS offer substantially undervalues the company.
On Friday, ImClone closed $5.34 (almost 9%) above the BMS offer of $60/share. It will be interesting to watch this one shake out. I think Old Carl has some fight left in [...]

In a regulatory filing this morning, Bristol-Myers Squibb announced it has offered to buy the 83% of ImClone it doesn’t already own for an all cash, $60/share or $4.5B. This offer represented a 30% premium over yesterday’s close but already in premarket trading, ImClone has hit $65/share.

Originally, KAI received $20 million upfront from Sankyo, as well as potential milestone payments of up to $300 million for two initial indications and milestone payments on any future delta PKC [...]
Bristol-Myers Squibb To Be Acquired By… [Insert Name Here]??
In a previous post, I speculated on reasons for shedding of non-core pharmaceutical assets by BMS. Don’t read it. I was grasping at straws and missed the real connection, I think BMS is divesting non-biopharm assets because it will soon be acquired. The company’s stock is down 11% from this January [...]
BMS Sheds ConvaTec for $4.1 billion
A few hours after I had written this post about the Pfizer/Esperion spin-off signaling a changing of the times in big pharma, I see I this story about Bristol-Myers Squibb divesting ConvaTec to some private equity groups (Nordic Capital VII and Avista Capital Partners) for $4.1 billion dollars. This press release jogged my memory and [...]
