Most of ARNA’s CC was about new analysis of the rat-carcinogenicity data. VP of clinical development, Christy Anderson seemed well prepared for the questions from the apparently skeptical questioners, especially when elaborating on the two distinct pathways for pathogenesis of rat mammary tumors.
Whether this makes ARNA a compelling buy at an enterprise value of roughly $300M is unclear. My cursory answer is no, but I’d be somewhat more inclined to take a flier after today’s news than I would have been previously, even after accounting for the double-digit price gain in the AH session.
