Teva: Chancen und Risiken bei Generika

Heute schreibt Georg Thilenius über Generika und speziell über Teva
"Schwankend, aber gewinnträchtig"
www.manager-magazin.de/geld/artikel/0,2828,389536,00.html

Der indische Generika-Hersteller Ranbaxy erlebte im Oktober nach einem gewaltigen Gewinneinbruch auch einen starken Kurseinbruch.
In der Einschätzung "equal-weight" für Ranbaxy von Morgan Stanley Ende Oktober heißt es: "Das schlechte Ergebnis hänge in erster Linie mit dem sich verschlechternden operativen Umfeld in den Vereinigten Staaten zusammen."

Was ist nun der Unterschied, dass Thilenius Generika und Teva so viel besser sieht ?
Er erweckt den Eindruck, als gehe es zwar auf und ab, aber unter dem Strich gehe der Trend nach oben.
Die Realität ist aber anscheinend, dass dies eine Branche ist, wo es viel auf die Entscheidungen bei Gerichtsverhandlungen ankommt, vgl. Meldung vom 22.11.05 "AstraZeneca verklagt Ranbaxy".

Die Bank of America reduziert ihr Kursziel für Teva von 45$ auf 35$, siehe

Teva Shares Jump on 4Q Profit, Outlook

Shares of generic drug developer Teva Pharmaceuticals Ltd. jumped Wednesday, a day after the company reported a 51 percent increase in its fourth-quarter profit.

The stock gained $1.01, or 2.7 percent, to close at $37.96 on the Nasdaq. Shares have traded between $29.22 and $43.90 over the last 52 weeks.

Early Tuesday, the company reported a jump in profit to 56 cents per share, as revenue surged 63 percent on sales of new products, including the antidepressants Bupropion XL and Venlafaxine. Revenue also was augmented by products gained from the company's $7 billion buyout of Ivax Corp. in January 2006.

Analysts reaffirmed positive ratings for the company Wednesday, citing Teva's forecast for growth over the next several years.

Deutsche Bank (nyse: DB - news - people ) analyst David M. Steinberg reaffirmed a "Buy" rating with a $45 price target.

"Central to the business outlook, Teva continues to boast the most impressive generic product pipeline in the entire global pharmaceutical industry," he wrote in a note to investors.

He said the company expects growth in 2007, with more than $9 billion in projected revenue, to be driven by 30 to 40 smaller products, and large generic opportunities in 2008 will drive growth even further. The company also will regain full Copaxone rights from Sanofi-Aventis (nyse: SNY - news - people ) in 2008. It will pay Sanofi-Aventis 25 percent on revenue from the multiple sclerosis drug for the first two years. The payments will end in 2010.

"For 2008 and beyond, we continue to see solid earnings per share growth re-emerging," he said.

Citigroup (nyse: C - news - people ) analyst Robert Bonte-Friedheim reaffirmed a "Buy" rating and a $46 price target, citing the outlook and possibility for a pathway to make future generic biotechnology drugs.

Lehman Brothers (nyse: LEH - news - people ) analyst Richard Silver reaffirmed a "Overweight" rating with a $43 price target.

"Our hope is that transparency will continue to improve in the coming quarters - in particular, with greater insight and commentary on European and international business trends, given the increasing importance of these non-U.S. growth drivers," he said
