Despite strong growth in recent months, Gilead Sciences beat them to the punch on hepatitis C, upon which Idenix had hung its hopes. A rebound may take a while.

The stock has traded below $3 this year and insider ownership is still less than 1%? That doesn't say much for this outfit's prospects, does it?

It is going to get bought out, likely for more than the 2.5 billion or whatever INHX got. I'm thinking 30-35 bucks per share.

Wild card is IDIX over ACHN as only remaining Nuc therapy for hep C, as VRUS and INHS both were acquired at huge premium in this narrowed space competing to develop an all-oral hepatitis C therapy for this epidemic worldwide valued at as much as $3 billion. IDIX has broken out but expect it to run up significantly in the near term based on valuation, pipeline, short covers and new valuation of 18.

IDIX has a too high valuation compared to its sales potential. It is also loss making.

After the recent restructuring, it is now clear where this company stands. One HIV drug in phase I with no current plan for a phase II trial. One or two HCV drugs in preclinical development, with a history of one massive faceplant in HCV. Also a history of a very high burn rate which will obviously be reduced, but likely not as much as the company claims. 140M is simply too high of a market cap for this pipeline, and 70M would probably be more appropriate. As the company continues to bleed cash without significant progress through clinical trials in 2008, it will become clear that a dilutional financing is imminent.

Oversold with powerful sponsor. Will rebound for at least a 50% gain.

The company is sitting on a good amount of cash and has a major backer in the form of Novartis (NVS -- owns over 50% of IDIX's shares). Idenix currently sells a Hepatitis B drug and has a Hep C drug in Phase II trials. They are also working on an HIV drug that is in the extreme early phases of development. The Hep C drug will be used in combination with other drugs, but experienced a setback last year because of GI problems in some patients.

Honestly, I'm not a big biotech/pharma investor, but I like the idea behind this company's products and the potential for both the current Hep B drug and the possible Hep C drug. I generally avoid this realm because I don't have the background to understand the chemistry behind the drugs, but I figured this was an interesting situation to monitor through CAPS. Right now, the market is valuing this company as if it had very little chance at a future. NVS' support and the Hep B drug currently on market seem to mitigate against this pessimism.
