"So why is the stock down today?" I'm guessing short term profit takers. If you look at the chart it shows a > 25% gain since march. Lazard notes that a partnership was anticipated, but not to this extent. I'm in the opinion that MRK validates the science and once the short term players exit then the stock will continue its rise. It took awhile for SGEN to move after the deal for SGN-40 so I'm looking for the same thing to play out.
