Biotech M&A is picking back up according to BiopharmaDive

September 1, 2023

In the business of drug development, deals can be just as important as scientific breakthroughs. Many of today’s most influential medicines, from the life-saving cancer treatment Keytruda to the anti-inflammatory agent Enbrel, might not have become so without mergers and acquisitions.

Over the last few years, pharmaceutical M&A hit record highs as larger companies turned again and again to young biotechs for innovation. Often, these deals focused on cancer, rare diseases and immune system disorders — areas of drug research that were seeing major victories in clinical trials and huge profits for treatments that made it to market.

These deals haven’t come cheap, however, with premiums on biopharma acquisitions surpassing 100% many times in recent years. Such high prices have been due, at least in part, to the fact that biotechs were able to secure large amounts of funding from private investors and the public markets, in turn forcing potential buyers to offer up more money to lock down deals.

While M&A took a back seat during the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertain times that followed pharma companies ultimately need to return to their dealmaking ways to remain profitable, said Jennifer O’Brien, an M&A partner at the consulting firm West Monroe. And while the biotech giant Biogen has had some missteps and hurdles, one move in particular may foretell a brighter

If you can explain to investors how your science is attacking the root cause of a disease, that’s very exciting. That gets patients excited. And when the science is real, as it is proven with ONCYs platform technology pelareorep, it gets everyone excited.

The science is exciting, but it hasn't been exciting around these parts in a while. We all eagerly await an update on PanCan/FDA goings on (13 more days Coffey), and we get a heads up about another fireside. Snoozers, let's get some BD news!!!!

As M&A activity swirls around biotechs of varying descriptions, ONCY continues to miss deadlines, keep investors guessing and advance little other than new 90-day countdowns. Thx for the exciting yr Matty boy!!!

Fox it s/b "years". Over the multitude of years this management have never shown they were able to raise the level of enthusiasm to see any meaningful, longlasting sp appreciation. Once again we wait to see whether they can get a deal done and like the past the market, so far, is telling us they aren't very optimistic. I hope I am wrong because like many that have been here for years

October 10, 2023 - This summer, large biotechnology deals took a vacation. The dry spell of mergers and acquisitions could be coming to an end, though, if a recent string of buyouts is any indication.  This activity may serve as fodder to some on Wall Street who’ve been forecasting an uptick in biopharma deals. For instance, analysts at the investment firm Piper Sandler wrote in an Oct.

November 07, 2023 - .... the cycle of biopharma mergers and acquisitions (M&A) has returned to one of “conscious coupling” as large pharmas desperate to replenish pipelines find the promising drug candidates they’re looking for from smaller biotechs.  Subin Baral, EY Global Life Sciences Deals Leader, recently discussed factors that help explain the budding comeback of biopharma M

Baral:     I think we’re seeing what we expected to see. We said divest-to-invest will continue to be a theme. We said in our prior report that it [an M&A comeback] was a matter of time, because the industry fundamentals continue to be strong. We said the therapeutic areas where the larger unmet need will continue to be in areas such as oncology, such as immunology; that has

It's frivolous. It's pushing everything down the river without clarity.

For those who talk of pushing things down the river and looking for clarity, Baral addresses this criticism through his response on those seeking clarity on insightful forecasting and future developments. And the clarity of ONCYs reproducible metastatic pancreatic cancer clinical  studies are now coming to fruition. Baral:

Hey Note, did you happen to witness what FDA approval did for Vivos Therapeutics (sleep apnea) ? Wednesday it was trading at $4.40 usd, Thursday it closed at $41 usd. Hopefully Oncy will see a 900% boost after  AA.
