FeMike,

That’s what many in big pharma or those wanting to take initial positions would say and what Linda Powers would laugh at. The massive expansion planned for next year at Memphis isn’t to have it sit around idle. Nice try at a suggested “retail” sticker price though; ). Best wishes.

And then there’s CRL in the US and now Europe. We don’t know exactly where they are in terms of manufacturing prep for DCVax rollout, but we know they have been heavily hiring and enlarging for months and months.

One BIG problem with your analysis. The market is forward looking. You also don’t factor in recurrent GBM and other forms of brain cancer. And then there is the value of Direct. $38Billion is the floor in my mind.

8-10b valuation okay that's minimum I think but when you offer a company with an outstanding/ positive result you can't just low ball that company rather you have to offer a PREMIUM price that the company won't refuse. If LP get's an offer of 8-10b she would rather go against this competition than selling this cheap. It's like you reap but others sow. That ain't gonna happen. lol

It would be an absolute disgrace and embarrassment if MHRA approves this but not the FDA. You would have 80% of Americans with GBM flying to London every year to try and get this treatment, and the Swanston facility will likely still be at capacity.

Also, the valuation is not just about how much the drug could make in the next few years. The maturation of this technology could see revenues of a half-trillion dollars annually ~20 years down the road. The current claim is DCVax can be used to treat any solid state cancer, but they chose to test it on GBM since it's the most agressive. If that claim is true (and the data they have on that is likely being discussed behind closed doors in BO negotiations) there is unheard of value in this technology. Now, you're not going to get anywhere near that valuation for something with a 20 year lead time, but it very well needs to be taken into consideration with the price.

We are seeing a paradigm shift in how cancer will be treated. You get an actual quality of life with DCVax. Anyone who has ever seen a loved one go through chemo understands the value in that.

Anything less than $20 billion would be stealing the company, and I would vote 'no' as a shareholder to approve it. Fair valuation, in my opinion, would be $30bn to $60bn. That's a wide number range, and imho the difference will come down to how well DCVax has been performing in combo trials. If some of the rumors floating around twitter actually pan out, $60bn might actually be a reality. Will be very interesting to see if they present some combo data at SNO. If combo trials bump the survival rate another 10%, I think you'll see the $60bn number.
