Thanks Westernglory, below some figures with a disclaimer. Only playing with artificial assumptions here to make it easy and surely not correct.
Celgene’s revenue in 2018 was 15,3b. So with 50000 $ average (fictive) per patient it would mean 300000 patients. It had over 8800 employees. It was bought with 74b$ by BMS in 2019.
Seagen’s revenue in 2022 was 2b. So with 50000$ average (fictive) per patient it would mean 40 000 patients. It had 3200 employees. It was agreed to buy with 43b$ by Pfizer last week.
Of course figures calculated as a proportion of revenues can’t be compared as such because of the different business and partnering models. The total value of their inventions on the market can’t be judged with these figures. The agreed acquisition prices are only a part of the inventions total value on the market. The financial value the partners are gaining is not included.
Celgene’s
Revenue/employee 1,73m$
Valuation/employee 8,4m$
Net income/employee 0,45m$
Seagen’s
Revenue/employee 0,63m$
Valuation/employee 13,4m$
Net income/employee -190$ (negative)
Faron’s Mcap per employee is 4m$. It will be a journey to transform from a novel status up to an established position in the market. From the figures above we can see that in Seagen’s price there is much more future value calculated in compared to Celgene?
