Re: Sell-side models for GILD

I commented on Stifel’s model in #msg-101479601, and jq1234 commented (with my concordance) on CS’ model in #msg-101066487.

I haven’t previously commented on Nomura’s model, but I now see that they (mistakenly) think treatment-experienced non-cirrhotic patients will get only 8 weeks of Sovaldi + Ledipasvir—i.e. they appear to be guilty of the same bias as Stifel.

Feedback welcome.

p.s. It might be helpful to readers (at the cost of some extra work by you) to highlight the changes in each iteration in bold-faced or colored text.

Other comments (summarized by me):

Goldman - (1) I previously posted primary bear case based mostly on sustainability; (2) out year per share increases are due to lower share counts from share repurchases: (3) models cost of all-oral at $95,000; (4) suggests stocking at $400M; (5) target $65

Credit Swisse - (1) likely price of all-oral at $100K for 8 week regimen; (2) suggest a 65% steady state market share for GILD; (3) breaks down HCV '14 sales into $7.6B for Sovaldi and $1.5B for all-oral; (4) target $110

Wells Fargo - (1) Thinks Medicaid share will go up during year, so selling price per RX will go down; (2) expects more warehousing of milder patients until all-oral available; (3) think GILD will price all-oral close to parity with Sovaldi with 12 week price at $90-100K; (4) breaks down '14 sales into $8.6B US, $.7B Europe, and .1B int'l; (5) target $87-$91

RBC - (1) If HVC cut in half from $12 to $6B by '18, still will earn $5-6/sh and a 12-14 p/e gets a value of $60-84; (2) Sees HCV sales $8B+ due to longer tail; (3) estimated inventory build at $400M; (4) If scripts up 50% and inventory flat then US in Q2 at $2.2B and ROW at $.3B for $2.5B total; (5) Base case of $96 is based on 30% of DCF of HIV ($25/sh), HCV ($45/sh), oncology ($7/sh), and synergies ($5/sh) and 70% P/E value of $99; (6) assumes HIV 80% maintenance post '18; (7) has upside and downside scenerios - upside is $110 on higher p/e and higher HCV sales, as well as HBV and other pipelines; (8) downside is $62, based on lower HCV share ($36/sh) and lower sustainability of HIV ($21/sh)

BMO -(1) price target of $123 (20 x $7.00, discounted @ 20%); (2) Q2 Sov sales @ 1,831

Stifel - (1) increases estimate of all-oral pricing to average of $94,000; (2) has cost of 8 week treatment at $90,000 with only 10% of patients needing 12 week treatment at 50% higher cost, (3) target price of $92 determined by taking 1.27 PEG (median of peer group) times 11% growth rate for'14-'17 for 14p/e times '14 earnings of 6.80 (result is a 11 p/e based on the '15 earnings estimate, below pharma norm of 15x); and (4) HCV sales divided between Sov and all-oral and between US and non-US - non-US at '14-1.985B; '15-2.602B; '16-2.563B; '17-2.590B

JP Morgan - (1) Q2 est $1.32/sh; (2) delays in patient starts positively impacts sustainability; (3) payer criticism should diminish after approval of all-oral; (4) major acceleration ahead in all-oral; (5) non US should provide material upside EU (2H'14/'15), Japan with GT2 filing in '14 ('15), Australia/Brazil/Turkey/Russia/China/Canada ('15-'18); (6) Target of $100/sh

Nomura - (1) "based upon conversation with management," pricing for 8 weeks could come in at $84K ($75K net), with a 12 wk course for cirrhotic at $125K ($107K net); (2) 8 wk treatment for most patients; (3) Q2 Sovaldi est. $1.765B and earnings est at $1.26; target at $130/sh

Citi - (1) earnings "at least $8-10/sh from '15 onwards," with no decrease; (2) target at $96/sh

UBS (from 4/30 report) - (1) market assumes significant tail risk to HCV, lack of cash management, and minimal pipeline contribution; (2) pipeline is significantly undervalued (emphasizes simtuzumab); (3) target of $110
