Mar 07th 2013 - Edison Investment Research today published a report on BB Biotech entitled "Promising Pipeline". In summary, the report says:
BB Biotech AG (BION) is a Swiss-based investment company investing in mid- to large-capitalisation biotech companies. Over the past, year BION’s net asset value beat comparable indices and was more than 10% ahead of its benchmark, the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index. In 2012, BION resisted an attempt to unitise the company and implemented a strategy to reduce its discount. The managers believe their stocks are attractively valued and see the prospect of M&A activity, driven by patent expirations in the pharmaceutical industry. BION’s portfolio contains a number of drugs in the later stages of development and these could help drive further NAV growth.
