Big Pharma Has to Bet Big on M&A. Investors Don’t.
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- AbbVie Inc.’s $63 billion purchase of Botox maker Allergan Inc. is the third super-sized drug deal announced in the past 14 months, and the second just this year after Bristol-Myers’s Squibb Co.’s even bigger $74 billion purchase of Celgene Corp. These huge combinations are no fluke: In the last decade, the biopharmaceutical industry has pursued more $40 billion-plus transactions than any other sector, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. These big deals happen for a reason. Drug development is difficult, unpredictable and time consuming; even when the billions pharmaceutical companies spend on R&D or strategic purchases and partnerships bear fruit with top-sellers, those blockbusters still face the prospect of expiring patents and an eventual decline in sales. That pressures drugmakers into bigger acquisitions, in spite of their mixed track record and inherently risky and complicated nature. In AbbVie's case, the company needs to find a replacement for its $19 billion-a-year arthritis drug Humira, while Bristol-Myers is too dependent on two key drugs.If pharma giants can’t keep themselves from making big and risky M&A bets, that doesn’t mean investors have to follow suit, or that they’d get much of an edge from doing so. While big pharma deals have resulted in longer-term gains for very patient investors in many cases, the returns don’t look as good compared to the broader market. Of the eight biopharma deals worth more than $40 billion that closed in the last 20 years, only one delivered better returns than the S&P 500 five years after it closed: Merck & Co.’s $47 billion acquisition of Schering-Plough Corp. in 2009 (1):That deal is arguably something of an accidental winner. Long-term success didn’t come from any of the products Merck targeted in the merger; instead, an afterthought of an antibody that was initially set to be sold off became Keytruda, a cancer drug that’s projected to generate $15 billion in sales in 2021.Investors shouldn’t count on buried pipeline treasure to bail out the latest crop of big drug acquisitions. A better bet? Try an index fund. (1) Not included in the group is Takeda Pharmaceutical Co.'s $62 billion purchase of Shire Plc, which closed in January, making return comparisons lessuseful.To contact the author of this story: Max Nisen at mnisen@bloomberg.netTo contact the editor responsible for this story: Beth Williams at bewilliams@bloomberg.netThis column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editorial board or Bloomberg LP and its owners.Max Nisen is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist covering biotech, pharma and health care.

5 Top Stock Trades for Tuesday: CELG, BMY, CZR
With the G20 summit right around the corner, stocks were relatively muted on Monday. Investors are trying to position themselves ahead of earnings next month, the Fed's looming rate cut and trade headlines leading up and following the G20 summit. Let's look at some top stock trades from Monday. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 1: Bristol-Myers Squibb Click to EnlargeShares of Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY) took a spill, falling over 7% on Monday. The fall comes after two pieces of news. With the company looking to wrap up its acquisition of Celgene (NASDAQ:CELG), the duo are apparently willing to divest Celgene's Otezla unit.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * The 7 Best Acquisitions of 2019 That unit represented about 10% of Celgene's most recent quarter of sales and is a $1-billion-a-year drug. Investors obviously aren't too happy about that. Negative news about BMY's Opdivo isn't helping sentiment either.So what now?The charts were just starting to look good for BMY, with the stock trying to climb north of $50 for the time since March. Instead, investors are now hoping that support in the $44 to $45 area holds up. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 2: Celgene Click to EnlargeIt also bring up the question of Celgene. Shareholders are to receive $50 in cash plus 1 share of BMY for each share of CELG that they own. Currently, that puts the deal value at $95 for Celgene stock, not including the cash incentive to shareholders for future drug approvals.However, because the deal is not expected to go through until Q4 2019 or Q1 2020 -- unlike previously expected in in Q3 2019 -- both stocks are still susceptible to big moves.Below the 20-day and 50-day moving averages is not all that great for Celgene stock. However, still north of $92.50 means CELG is okay, technically speaking. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 3: Caesars Entertainment Click to EnlargeShares of Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ:CZR) are surging on Monday, up almost 15% on a $17.3 billion merger agreement with Eldorado Resorts (NASDAQ:ERI), which is down about 15% as a result.With the exception of the size, the deal is somewhat similar to the BMY-CELG one above. Assuming regulatory approval, CZR stock could drift higher. At the time of the news release, it valued CZR stock at $12.75 apiece, more than $1 per share below current levels.That said, CZR's final value will depend on the value of ERI too. I want to see CZR stay north of the 200-day moving average. I also want to see ERI stock stabilize as well. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 4: New Relic Click to EnlargeNew Relic (NASDAQ:NEWR) is a new one for the Top Stocks list, but its action warrants some attention.$95 has been pretty solid support, as has the 200-day moving average. With Monday's fall though, both levels gave way. Bears may be tempted to short NEWR on a retest of this area provided it now acts as resistance.With support failing, a drop down to the $77.50 to $80 area is possible. Until it's north of $95 again, bulls may need to wait for a better opportunity. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 5: Match Group Click to EnlargeMatch Group (NASDAQ:MTCH) caught a big bounce on Monday, with shares jumping more than 7%. * 7 Top S&P 500 Stocks of 2019 (So Far) The move comes on a test of the 50-day moving average, which has buoyed the name for months now. Over $74 and MTCH stock can breakout out. If it acts as resistance again, look to see if the 50-day holds once more.Bret Kenwell is the manager and author of Future Blue Chips and is on Twitter @BretKenwell.

Bristol-Myers Will Divest Celgene Blockbuster to Close Deal
(Bloomberg) -- Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. agreed to divest one of Celgene Corp.’s most lucrative drugs in order to close their planned $74 billion merger.Under an agreement with the Federal Trade Commission, Bristol-Myers will sell off the psoriasis pill Otezla to appease antitrust regulators’ concerns, the company said in a statement.Bristol-Myers shares fell as much as 7.6% to $45.57 in New York, the biggest intraday drop since the deal was announced on Jan. 3. Celgene declined as much as 5.2% to $93.74.Otezla is a major product for Celgene, projected to bring in $1.86 billion this year, and was seen as an important driver of future growth as the two companies knit together their businesses. Bristol-Myers has been battling Merck & Co. for dominance in the field of cancer immunotherapy, while Celgene’s blockbuster Revlimid for blood cancers is expected to face lower-priced competitors in coming years.Otezla has as much as a decade of strong sales ahead, according to analysts’ estimates surveyed by Bloomberg. Now, a rival drugmaker will get the rights to the pill, potentially at a discounted price. Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen unit has said it’s interested in pursuing an oral psoriasis treatment through an acquisition or its own pipeline.Bristol-Myers is researching another type of therapy for psoriasis known as a TYK2-inhibitor that would likely compete with Celgene’s blockbuster drug. While the drugs work differently, the overlap raised concerns from regulators, according to the statement. By divesting Otezla, Bristol-Myers is electing to sell a blockbuster in favor of a promising, though still experimental, therapy.“Divesting Otezla a surprise to us and removes one of the newco’s growth drivers,” Vamil Divan, an analyst with Credit Suisse Group AG, said in a note to clients.Taking LongerBristol-Myers also said that the deal will take longer to close than it had expected. Its new target is the end of 2019 or early 2020, pushed back from a previous goal of Sept. 30. The FTC review is ongoing, the company said, and European regulators will review it as well.“Bristol-Myers Squibb is committed to working with regulatory authorities around the world on the proposed combination with Celgene,” the company said in the statement. It plans to use the proceeds to pay off debt.The increased oversight spooked investors in another biotechnology company facing regulatory review. Earlier this month, the FTC requested more information about Spark Therapeutics Inc.’s proposed sale to Roche Holding AG, sending the gene therapy company’s shares falling. Spark’s shares dropped as much as 3.6% to $101.25 on the news of the Otezla divestiture.In a research note, Jefferies analyst Michael Yee said it remains to be seen what the news could mean for the industry.“We continue to be mindful and are carefully watching to get a better handle on if we are in a more aggressive FTC era for biotech,” he wrote in a note to clients.Separately, Bristol-Myers said that its cancer drug Opdivo, its No. 2 product, had failed a clinical trial treating liver cancer patients. The medicine faces multiple competitors that use the same mechanism to help the immune system attack tumors, and Bristol-Myers’ rivals have been attempting to get the drugs approved in as many different types of cancer as possible.(Updates share-price movement in third paragraph.)To contact the reporters on this story: Rebecca Spalding in Boston at rspalding@bloomberg.net;Riley Griffin in New York at rgriffin42@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Drew Armstrong at darmstrong17@bloomberg.net, Mark Schoifet, Timothy AnnettFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

Bristol-Myers's $74 Billion Celgene Splurge Just Got Riskier
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. really wants to get its $74 billion deal for Celgene Inc. done. The pharma giant announced Monday that it is planning to divest Celgene’s blockbuster psoriasis medication Otezla to address concerns by the Federal Trade Commission likely related to potential market concentration. Bristol-Myers has a competing product in late-stage trials and a marketed inflammation drug of its own in Orencia. It had previously hoped to close the deal by Sept. 30. Now it is targeting the end of the year, or early 2020. The FTC’s unexpected objection – analysts didn’t think divestitures would be required – demonstrates the hidden perils of drug megamergers and adds risk to what was already the year’s priciest pharma deal.Regulators seemingly don’t want Bristol-Myers to retain all three assets. If one had to go, it makes some sense that it’s Otezla. Orencia generates more revenue, but Otezla has a longer runway and more growth potential. That could see it achieve a comparatively higher multiple in a sale. As for Bristol-Myers’s pipeline drug, a sale wouldn’t impact current cash flow as the medicine is still in development, but it might not bring much of a return or assuage regulators.Even if selling Otezla is the right call, it’s a tough decision and will hurt. Otezla accounted for 10% of Celgene’s sales last year, and creating an industry-leading inflammation franchise was a big selling point for the deal with Bristol-Myers. The combined company will have significantly less scale in that area now.Bristol-Myers also may have trouble getting the price it wants for a valuable asset through this pressured process. The FTC’s objections to this part of the deal are surprising. Orencia and Otezla work in different ways, and overlap in just one of their several indicated uses. The competitive threat from the pipeline drug is still entirely theoretical. The high regulatory bar that Bristol-Myers has revealed could limit the pool of potential buyers. Many of the big pharma companies that are most likely to be interested in Otezla are already big players in inflammation. Add in the fact that Bristol-Myers is in a weak negotiating position, and you have a recipe for a soft price. Biopharma companies that attempt large deals love to talk up potential synergies and increased muscle. But those transactions are always more complicated than the sales pitch indicates, and the sacrifices required to get them done have a cost.
