Probably a moot point. If it's a 200 billion dollar asset over time the most big pharma will pay is 20b. And they will take it sooner rather than later. Maybe within the next 2 yrs.

Pricing is the US is pretty sweet - ROW not so much. If bicyclical then the motion will be elliptical.

Does anyone have thoughts on yesterday's presentation? I read the slides and come away with the impression that Verona can serve 50% of the market with the focus on 80% of the HCPs intent to Prescribe Ohtuvayre.

With $1.1 billion in sales for each !% or 86K patients, those are BIG numbers down the road as Mega and Hoskuld shared earlier this week.

It is in process. Mixup at doctors office. Verona and Acaria have been very supportive and helpful. Should be straightened out today.

Roger, it appears that folks there liked what they heard as well as Druckenmiller's $20 million purchase would have encourage others to buy now. [I did not find anything, either. Possibly, later today it will be available.]

BTW, how is your situation? Have you received it?

Especially if soc in asthma and label expansion seasonal allergies... then it's worth is really high for that spring pollen pop. If international then it will be a bicyclical which would smooth the revenue curve. Lots of if statements of course.

Verona Pharma to Present at Jefferies London Healthcare Conference

MegaPirate61 MegaPirate61 1 week ago
I'm seeing a lot of soc references in the commentary from the analysts and physicians networks. If that happens in asthma and copd it's 20 billion per month. Obviously that's a long shot but it's possible in 10 yrs. That's the scary thing.

LOL I like your sign off! I don't think most COPD patients will switch to ohtuvayre but will just add Oh (steroids are pretty cheap.) Add 250,000 bronchiectasis patients to probably 1.5m COPD patients and those add up to some immense numbers. Maybe I lack imagination, but I don't think $100b is in the cards - maybe $20b if every single thing goes well.

New valuation of vrna at 218 per share per takeover advocate specialist Caligan.

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/09/caligan-takes-a-stake-in-verona-pharma-sees-opportunity-to-generate-more-value.html

I personally feel this estimate is way low. If a big part 4 million copd patients on steroids are switched over to ohtuvayre as fda is pushing, plus other combos in a progressive disease scenario (meaning eventually all copd patients will need something else to supplement their therapy) you're looking at 3300 per 3 month supply or 13 billion per quarter. Double that for the 1 million fibrosis patients plus asthmatic patients once approved, and that's 100 bil per yr + without international or other label expansion. Fairly safe to say it's a 250 billion dollar asset in 10 yrs all imo.

I'd put fair value at 2000 per share minimum. But what do I know I'm just a pirate. Ohtuvayrrrg!

Hi PW! Scripts will just tell us the trend - which is strong right now - but cannot give us the absolute #s...which are about 2.5x-3x the IMS script data. I think the company would consider a buyout at the right price - IMO $100 right now would be OK based on the trend and the upside is huge from there.

Thank you for your reply.

As to 1), will we learn of those higher revenues directly from Verona or indirectly via the weekly script info?

For 2), are the company's actions geared towards a take-out soon or later when more revenue sources are likely? or, will Glaxo and AZ jump the gun and go after Verona now that revenue is coming in strong for a sensational product?

Once again, thank you, Hoskuld.

Hoskuld Hoskuld 3 weeks ago
I think there are 2 catalysts:

1. The continuous catalyst of higher and higher revenues and

2. Acquisition by Glaxo or AstraZeneca etc.

It will take a while for Bronchiectasis trial results but those will help, too.

Hoskuld, thanks for your post, to which I agree. What are the next catalysts for the stock ... or we wait until next year for Q4 and total 2024 numbers?

Hoskuld Hoskuld 3 weeks ago
Hi Powerwalker. These were great results. The actually scripts are much much higher than the IMS scripts indicate. This is trending to be a blockbuster by the end of next year. VRNA is going to be one of those big winners - and because it is now backed up by revenue, it is far less risky now from a PPS pov.

All my best to you Roger. Noticed the earnings which is always on thursdays is now on Monday. Can't help but wonder if Ligand wants a bigger stake than just low single digit royalty on ohtuvayre. Though a takeout by azn is possible I think ligand all stock deal or 5 to 10% buy in is far more likely.

Sometimes it is difficult to say what option trades indicate - options are often part of hedging strategies. I am bullish on VRNA but these options sales/purchases could signify different expectations or similar expectations...who knows?

Still in process of getting it. Delay is on my end with my Dr. Should be resolved next month with new doc. I can tell you that Verona reached out to me almost immediately after my inquiry in August and have texted and emailed since. They have been very responsive. Very positive feelings about this company.
