What could happen if...I agree with posters that says GEN is not ready for a Big Pharma deal..yet.
To give you an idea to what could happen if GEN enter into a deal with a Big Pharma read the link below...
https://finance.yayoo.com/news/exact-sciences-pfizer-enter-u-100000808.html As you can see exas:us wasn't taken over by a big pharma, NO, they just signed a deal until 2021.
The effect of this deal on the SP...
The deal was signed on Aug 22,2018 the SP jumped from $47USD to $80USD in the following weeks, then back down to $56USD in Dec 2018.
In the link Exas:us said (QUOTE) Under the agreement, pfizer will co-promote(and sell) Cologuard with Exas:us beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018(END of QUOTE).
In the fourth quarter of 2018 the SP jumped from $56USD to today $96USD (and still climbing)... could be because investors expect positive results from this deal in the next few financial.
Someday it will be GEN time for a deal with a Big Pharma.
