the co hasnt had any major catalysts for a while since its in the middle of a moderately large phase iii program. as the market begins to remember that affys pivotal data is coming up it will also recall that the market for their drug hematide is absolutely massive.

there are some caveats to the large mkt opp (jnj litigation, potential generic biologics legislation, and a stagnant market for ESAs), but despite this the co remains dramatically undervalued, particularly considering their $150m cash balance (which mgmt has said will not be sufficient to carry them thru to profitability tho).

AFFY has a too high valuation compared to its sales potential. It is also one of the most loss making companies at least until 2010.
Moreover the company has less than 150 shareholders, 128, on 2009-03-12, and the company is diluting the existing shareholders, adding 24% more outstanding shares from 2008-03 to 2009-03.
