I clearly agree with the gist of your analysis, i.e. that the worst-case scenarios are already discounted by today’s closing valuation. However, I have a minor quibble with your effectively double counting MNTA’s tax-loss carryforward. You should either: i) place a multiple on MNTA’s expected income on a fully-taxed basis and add in the value of the NOL’s separately; or ii) place a multiple on MNTA’s untaxed income and ignore the NOL’s. In either case, you would be counting the tax benefit only once instead of twice.

<<Let's just say SNY, TEVA and Sandoz split the market equally (33% of $2.7 billion).>>

What is the $2.7 billion figure? Perhaps U.S. and non-U.S., non-Europe revenue? If so, with two generics won't price and total revenue decline?

I have built models for profit sharing and royalty cases.

I do not think that you should be deducting CGS from the royalty case. That is a guess - I do not recall it being stated explicitly.

And as another poster pointed out, there will be a decline in the market size due to competitive pricing. Not sure how big that will be with TEVA in and Sanofi offering an AG.
