If you investigate you run the risk of failure. Many big companies have failed- particularly in HCV. (If you wanted an example BMY/Inhibitex) Enanta's was a trifle in comparison.
While true, my sense is that many ENTA investors are rationalizing or otherwise excusing things that are bigger than HBV - which we have both said (in different ways) was NBD.
So yeah, $6 looks silly right now. Unless ENTA does something equally silly with their $$$.
That still holds. Price doesn't have to go higher between now and the next RSV readout but generally speaking, there is a limit to how low it can go with an intact balance sheet and there is clearly room to the upside. It's also possible they could partner a pre-clinical asset or make some other deal in the meantime. I'm not bearish ENTA at this price over the next few months, I just think my investments should be somewhere else.
