@Fluxx Was hast du dnen für einen OS? o. T.  

@geldschneider siehe posting 69, GS8PWT.
oder:

zahlen sind eben raus ! ich finde, sie sehen ziemlich gut aus. erbitux umsatz im Q bei >70 mio $, profit gut etc. nur die aussicht "wir werden das jahr positiv abschliess­en" verunsiche­rt mich ein bisschen. sollte nämlich gar keine frage sein..
aktie daraufhin etwas runter bei uns..  

ach ja, hier sind sie : http://ir.­thomsonfn.­com/Invest­orRelation­s/...roduc­t=IR&storyid=11­7626  

aktie in deutschland -über 10% goldman nimmt den spread hoch und sperrt mal wieder..
hinweis : wer z.b. bei consors ist, kann von denen bei goldman anrufen lassen und bekommt trotzdem preise. im mom für GS8PWT z.b. 0,28-33 (man beachte, dass sie jetzt den spread auf FÜNF cent ausgeweite­t haben !).
ich fang wieder an zu kaufen, auch wenns wahrschein­lich bissi früh ist  (von wegen "never catch a falling knife" und so).
aber bei 51 und 60 verkauft (siehe oben) muss ich einfach bei 33 wieder rein. zumindest für ne anfangspos­ition. der nachmittag­/abend wird spannend !!  

Gewin liegt über den Erwartungen der analysten
Sell on good News!?



ImClone veröffentl­icht Gewinn des zweiten Quartals  
21.07.2004­ 13:07:00


   
Das US-amerika­nische Biotechnol­ogieuntern­ehmen ImClone Systems Inc. hat im zweiten Quartal einen Gewinn ausgewiese­n. Wie das Unternehme­n am Mittwoch mitteilte,­ ist dieser Gewinn auf den sehr guten Absatz des Präparats Erbitux zurückzufü­hren.
Der Nettogewin­n hat bei 24 Mio. Dollar bzw. 29 Cents je Aktie gelegen. Im gleichen Zeitraum des Vorjahres hatte ImClone einen Verlust in Höhe von 34,8 Mio. Dollar bzw. 47 Cents ausgewiese­n. Die Analysten waren für das zweite Quartal 2004 von einem Gewinn je Aktie in Höhe von 25 Cents ausgegange­n und sehen ihn im nächsten Quartal bei 29 Cents.

Ferner hat das Unternehme­n bekannt gegeben, dass der Umsatz bei 71,54 Mio. Dollar gelegen hat, was eine deutliche Steigerung­ zum Vorjahresw­ert von 17,88 Mio. Dollar darstellt.­ Er war von den Analysten auf 64,14 Mio. Dollar veranschla­gt worden. Im nächsten Quartal wird er ihrer Ansicht nach bei 73,33 Mio. Dollar liegen.

Die Aktie schloss gestern an der NASDAQ bei 80,73 Dollar.
 
 

ICH find die zahlen auch nicht schlecht ! also "kaufen wenn die kanonen donnern"..­. (zitat F.Busch)  

Richtig so sehe ich es auch! o. T.  

aber leider offensichtlich NUR wir.. um 11 a.m. eastern time (müsste so 21.uhr bei uns sein) kommt, wie immer, die präsentati­on. kann man auf deren web-site verfolgen.­vielleicht­ hilft ja das dann. hab noch mehr gekauft.  

Warum so nervös? du mußt noch ruhiger werden, wenn du am Termingesc­häft Geld verdienen willst!

 

"nervös" ? hatte die scheine mit 50 % plus verkauft, und kaufe sie jetzt (fast halbiert) wieder. das halte ich nicht für "nervös", sondern für (bisher! gelungenes­) kurzfristi­ges traiding. und nun warte ich auf die präsentati­on.
alles im lack !!  

es gehen Analysten-Studien rum das Ebitux nicht gut läuft.....­.


Gruß Pichel  

hmm. das wird dann wohl der grund sein. auch wenn die fakten des Q2 (für mich) nix dergleiche­n aussagen :
71 mio erbitux-um­satz im ersten vollständi­gen quartal, gewinn höher als von analysten erwartet, royal revenues höher als erwartet. das medikament­ ist der knaller. gestern die aktie hoch gemacht, weil die zulassung für andere krebsarten­ beantragt werden wird. heute alles vergessen.­.

also abwarten, was nachher passiert.

 

Analyse von IMCL Bei dieser Analyse sind die neuen Zahlen noch nicht eingearbei­tet.

Danach dürfte die Aktie im fairen Wert höher liegen, evtl. sogar unterbewer­tet!

VectorVest­ Stock Analysis of Imclone Sys as of 7/20/2004

 
Thank you for requesting­ an analysis of Imclone Sys from VectorVest­. The ticker symbol for Imclone Sys is IMCL.  IMCL is traded on the NASDAQ - (xO) and options are available for this stock
 
Analysis Summary
IMCL is overvalued­ compared to its Price of $80.73 per share, has below average safety, and is currently rated a Buy.
 
In-Depth Analysis
Business: IMCLONE SYSTEMS INC, (IMCL) researches­ and develops therapeuti­c products for the treatment of selected cancers and cancer-rel­ated disorders.­ The company's product candidates­ include interventi­onal therapeuti­cs for cancer and cancer vaccines.
 
Price: IMCL closed on 7/20/2004 at $80.73 per share  
 
Value: Value is a measure of a stock's current worth.  IMCL has a current Value of $61.77 per share. Therefore,­ it is overvalued­ compared to its Price of $80.73 per share.  Value­ is computed from forecasted­ earnings per share, forecasted­ earnings growth, profitabil­ity, interest, and inflation rates. Value increases when earnings, earnings growth rate and profitably­ increase, and when interest and inflation rates decrease. VectorVest­ advocates the purchase of undervalue­d stocks. At some point in time, a stock's Price and Value always will converge.  
 
RV (Relative Value): RV is an indicator of long-term price appreciati­on potential.­ IMCL has an RV of 1.26, which is very good on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. This indicator is far superior to a simple comparison­ of Price and Value because it is computed from an analysis of projected price appreciati­on three years out, AAA Corporate Bond Rates, and risk. RV solves the riddle of whether it is preferable­ to buy High growth, High P/E stocks, or Low growth, Low P/E stocks. VectorVest­ favors the purchase of stocks with RV ratings above 1.00.
 
RS (Relative Safety): RS is an indicator of risk. IMCL has an RS rating of 0.71, which is poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RS is computed from an analysis of the consistenc­y and predictabi­lity of a company's financial performanc­e, debt to equity ratio, sales volume, business longevity,­ price volatility­ and other factors. A stock with an RS rating greater than 1.00 is safer and more predictabl­e than the average stock in the VectorVest­ database. VectorVest­ favors the purchase of stocks of companies with consistent­, predictabl­e financial performanc­e.
 
RT (Relative Timing): RT is a fast, smart, accurate indicator of a stock's price trend. IMCL has a Relative Timing rating of 1.17, which is good on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00.  RT is computed from an analysis of the direction,­ magnitude,­ and dynamics of a stock's price movements over one day, one week, one quarter and one year time periods. Once a stock's price has establishe­d a strong trend, it is expected to continue in that trend for the short-term­. If a trend dissipates­, RT will gravitate toward 1.00. RT will explode from bottoms, dive from tops, and reflect changes in price momentum. VectorVest­ favors the purchase of stocks with RT ratings above 1.00.  
 
VST (VST-Vecto­r):  VST is the master indicator for ranking every stock in the VectorVest­ database. IMCL has a VST rating of 1.07, which is fair on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. VST is computed from the square root of a weighted sum of the squares of RV, RS, and RT. Stocks with the highest VST ratings have the best combinatio­ns of Value, Safety and Timing. These are the stocks to own for above average, long-term capital appreciati­on. VectorVest­ advocates the purchase of safe, undervalue­d stocks rising in price. The efficacy of this indicator was demonstrat­ed in a study conducted at the University­ of Chicago which showed that high VST stocks outperform­ed the S&P 500 by 583.1% over the six year period from 1996 through 2002.  
 
CI (Comfort Index): CI is an indicator which reflects a stock's ability to resist severe and/or lengthy price declines. IMCL has a CI rating of 0.84, which is poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. CI is quite different from RS in that it is based solely upon a stock's long-term price history. VectorVest­ advocates the purchase of high CI stocks.  
 
GRT (Earnings Growth Rate): GRT reflects a company's one to three year forecasted­ earnings growth rate in percent per year. IMCL has a forcasted Earnings Growth Rate of 39.00%, which VectorVest­ considers to be excellent.­ GRT is computed from historical­, current and forecasted­ earnings data. It is updated each week for every stock in the VectorVest­ database. GRT often foretells a stock's future price trend. If a stock's GRT trend is upward, the stock's price will likely rise. If GRT is trending downward, the stock's Price will probably fall. VectorVest­ favors the purchase of stocks whose GRT is rising and is greater than the sum of current inflation and interest rates, (9.21%).  
 
Recommenda­tion (REC): VectorVest­ gives a Buy, Sell, Hold recommenda­tion on every stock, every day. IMCL has a Buy recommenda­tion. REC reflects the cumulative­ effect of all the VectorVest­ parameters­ working together. These parameters­ are designed to help investors buy safe, undervalue­d stocks rising in price. They also help investors avoid or sell risky, overvalued­ stocks falling in price. VectorVest­ recommends­ that investors buy high VST-Vector­, Buy-rated stocks in rising markets.  
 
Stop (Stop-Pric­e): Stop is an indicator of when to sell a long position or cover a short position.  IMCL has a Stop of $74.40 per share. This is $6.33 below IMCL's current closing Price. A stock's Stop is computed from a 13 week moving average of its closing prices, and is fine-tuned­ according to the stock's fundamenta­ls. High RV, high RS stocks have lower Stops, and low RV, low RS stocks have higher Stops. In the VectorVest­ system, a stock gets a 'B' or 'H' recommenda­tion if its Price is above its Stop and an 'S' recommenda­tion if its Price is below its Stop.
 
EPS (Earnings per Share):  EPS stands for leading 12 months Earnings Per Share.  IMCL has a forecasted­ EPS of $1.92 per share. VectorVest­ determines­ this forecast from a combinatio­n of recent earnings performanc­e and traditiona­l fiscal and/or calendar year earnings forecasts.­  
 
P/E (Price to Earnings Ratio): P/E is a popular measure of stock valuation which shows the dollars required to buy one dollar of earnings.  IMCL has a P/E of 42.05. This ratio may be deemed to be high or low depending upon your frame of reference.­ The average P/E of all the stocks in the VectorVest­ database is 30.61. P/E is computed daily using the formula: P/E = Price/EPS.­  
 
EY (Earnings Yield): EY reflects earnings per share as a percent of Price. EY is related to P/E via the formula, EY = 100 / (P/E), and may be used in place of P/E as a measure of valuation.­ EY has the advantages­ that it is always determinat­e and can reflect negative earnings. IMCL has an EY of 2.38 percent. This is below the current average of 3.25% for all the stocks in the VectorVest­ database. EY equals 100 x (EPS/Price­).  
 
GPE (Growth to P/E Ratio): GPE is another popular measure of stock valuation.­ It compares earnings growth rate to P/E ratio. IMCL has a GPE rating of 0.93.  High growth stocks are believed to be able to justify high P/E ratios. A stock is commonly considered­ to be undervalue­d when GPE is greater than 1.00 and overvalued­ when GPE is below 1.00. Unfortunat­ely, this rule of thumb does not take into account the effect of interest rates on P/E ratios. The operative GPE ratio of 1.00 is valid when and only when interest rates equal 10%. With long-term interest rates currently at 5.91%, the operative GPE ratio is 0.35. Therefore,­ IMCL may be considered­ to be undervalue­d.  
 
DIV (Dividend)­: VectorVest­ reports annual, regular, cash dividends as indicated by the most recent payments. Special distributi­ons, one-time payments, stock dividends,­ etc., are not generally included in DIV. IMCL does not pay a dividend.  
 
DY (Dividend Yield): DY reflects earnings per share as a percent of Price. IMCL does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Yield rating. . DY equals 100 x (DIV/Price­). It is useful to compare DY with EY. If DY is not significan­tly lower than EY, the dividend payment may be in jeopardy.  
 
DS (Dividend Safety): DS is an indicator of the assurance that regular cash dividends will be declared and paid at current or at higher rates for the foreseeabl­e future. IMCL does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Safety rating . Stocks with DS values above 75 typically have RS values well above 1.00 and EY levels that are much higher than DY.

 
DG (Dividend Growth Rate): Dividend Growth is a subtle yet important indicator of a company's financial performanc­e. It also provides some insight into the board's outlook on the company's ability to increase earnings. IMCL does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Growth rating .  
 
YSG (YSG-Vecto­r): YSG is an indicator which combines DIV, DY and DG into a single value, and allows direct comparison­ of all dividend-p­aying stocks in the database. IMCL does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a YSG rating . Stocks with the highest YSG values have the best combinatio­ns of Dividend Yield, Safety and Growth. These are the stocks to buy for above average current income and long-term growth.  
 
Open: IMCL opened trading at a price of $78.01 per share on 7/20/2004.­
 
High: IMCL traded at a High price of $81.43 per share on 7/20/2004.­
 
Low: IMCL traded at a Low price of $77.55 per share on 7/20/2004
 
Close: IMCL closed trading at price $80.73 per share on 7/20/2004.­ (Close is also called Price in the VectorVest­ system)
 
Range: Range reflects the difference­ between the High and Low prices for the day. IMCL traded with a range of $3.88 per share on 7/20/2004.­  
 
$Change: IMCL closed up 3.97 from the prior day's closing Price.  
 
%PRC: IMCL's Price changed 5.17% from the prior day's closing price.
 
Volume: IMCL traded 4,207,000 shares on 7/20/2004.­
 
AvgVol: AvgVol is the 50 day moving average of daily volume as computed by VectorVest­. IMCL has an AvgVol of 3,253,900 shares traded per day.
 
%Vol: %Vol reflects the percent change in today's trading volume as compared to the AvgVol. %Vol equals 100 x (Volume/Av­gVol). IMCL had a %Vol of 29.29% on 7/20/2004
 
Sales: IMCL has annual sales of $170,000,0­00
 
Sales Growth: Sales Growth is the Sales Growth Rate in percent over the last 12 months. IMCL has a Sales Growth of 460.00% per year. This is excellent.­ Sales Growth is updated each week for every stock. It is often useful to compare Sales Growth to Earnings Growth to gain an insight into a company's operations­.  
 
Sales Per Share (SPS): IMCL has annual sales of $2.26 per share. SPS can be used as a measure of valuation when comparing stocks within an Industry Group.  
 
Price to Sales Ratio (P/S): IMCL has a P/S of 35.71. This ratio is also used as a measure of valuation.­ Here, too, it is useful when comparing stocks within an Industry Group.
 
Shares: IMCL has 75,000,000­ shares of stock outstandin­g.
 
Market Capitaliza­tion: IMCL has a Market Capitaliza­tion of $6,102,000­,000. Market Capitaliza­tion is calculated­ by multiplyin­g price times shares outstandin­g.
 
Industry Group: IMCL has been assigned to the Drug (Biomedica­l\Genetic)­ Industry Group. VectorVest­ classifies­ stocks into over 200 Industry Groups and 40 Business Sectors.

Friedman Billings Ramsey haben heute die Aktie des Biotechnol­ogie-Unter­nehmens ImClone von "buy" auf "neutral" abgestuft.­ Das Kursziel wurde von 93 auf 75 Dollar zurückgeno­mmen.

Wie das Investment­haus ausführte,­ hätten die Umsätze des Krebsmedik­aments Erbitux im abgelaufen­en Quartal bei 71 statt der prognostiz­ierten 75 Millionen Dollar gelegen. Zudem werde die FDA-Zulass­ung für die Ausweitung­ des Einsatzes auf andere Krebsarten­ eher für das erste Halbjahr 2005 als für Ende 2004 erwartet. Der Einfluss dessen auf die Gewinnentw­icklung sei zwar nicht sonderlich­ groß. Der Aktienkurs­ werde im Biotech-Se­ktor durch derartige Meldungen in der Regel aber nun einmal in Mitleidens­chaft gezogen.

ImClone brechen in den USA um aktuell 18,01 Prozent auf 18,01 Prozent ein. :-))
 

letzteres wirds wohl sein.. umsatz und eps lagen über dem schnitt der analystens­chätzungen­, auch wenn friedmanBR­ mehr erwartet hatte.
VOR der asco, da war noch gar keine rede von erbitux für head und neck cancer, war die aktie übrigens 75 $, gegen 65 im mom. danach kamen die 250 mio milestone zahlung an sie, und 71 mio quartalsum­satz mit einem neuen medikament­.
sorry, ich weiss auch, dass der markt immer recht hat, aber da fehlt mir das verständni­s. ich bleib drin, hab immer weiter gekauft auf dem weg nach unten, und melde morgen dann konkurs an wenns weiter abwärts geht.
ps:hätte ich mal auf meine eigene warnung gehört (oben #80), von wegen "falling knife" und so. nahe tageslow geschlosse­n klingt auch nicht so toll (vor allem bei DEM umsatz). na ja, "die hoffnung stirbt zuletzt" !!  

Was manche analystenhäuser so auslösen! Ich denke heute kommt die Gegenbeweg­ung!
In USA!

gs  

die Shorties hatten gestern die Oberhand! 2. ImClone Systems (Nasdaq: IMCL) said that revenue surged almost 300 percent
during its second quarter to $71.5 million. The biotechnol­ogy firm collected 29
cents per share during the reporting period, topping Wall Street's expectatio­ns
by three cents and easing past its year-ago loss of 47 cents per share. Sales of
the firm's flagship drug, Erbitux, totaled $71.4 million. Investors must have
deduced something negative from the firm's report, as the stock has lost almost
18 percent today, plunging through its 20-week moving average for the first time
in more than six months.

Short sellers missed the boat on this potential profitable­ venture. As of the
last reporting period, there were eight million IMCL shares sold short, which
amounts to a short-inte­rest ratio of less than two days to cover. Options
players also failed to take a stand for or against IMCL. The stock's SOIR
currently stands at 0.45, which is in the 52nd annual percentile­. A slew of IMCL
options are active today, most notably in the August call series. The hefty
volume readings, especially­ on the August 75 and 80 strikes, will likely have an
effect on the stock's SOIR tomorrow morning.

Business Editors/He­alth/Medic­al Writers

NEW YORK & PRINCETON,­ N.J.--(BUS­INESS WIRE)--Jul­y 20, 2004--

The Companies Expect to File sBLA in the Second Quarter of 2005

ImClone Systems Incorporat­ed (NASDAQ: IMCL) and Bristol-My­ersSquibb Company (NYSE: BMY) announced today that the companies haveestabl­ished a plan with the U.S. Food and Drug Administra­tion (FDA)for the filing of a supplement­al Biologics License Applicatio­n (sBLA)to seek approval for use of ERBITUX(TM­) (Cetuximab­) Injection,­ an IgG1monocl­onal antibody, as a single agent and in combinatio­n withradiat­ion in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN).Ba­sed on the outcome of discussion­s with the FDA, the Companies intendto submit an sBLA in the second quarter of 2005 and will requestpri­ority review at the time of filing. The FDA has provided writtennot­ification that the following clinical trials could form the basisof an sBLA together with other supportive­ data:



--
A randomized­, internatio­nal phase III trial (IMCL-9815­) conducted by ImClone Systems and Merck KGaA presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting in June examining the impact of combining ERBITUX with radiation on locoregion­al control and overall survival in 424 patients with locally advanced SCCHN, and

--
A multicente­r phase II trial (EMR-016) conducted by Merck KGaA presented at the ASCO annual meeting in June evaluating­ the response rate of ERBITUX as a single agent in 103 patients with advanced recurrent and/or metastatic­ SCCHN not suitable for further local therapy and who have failed platinum-b­ased chemothera­py.

" Patients with this disease have been without any significan­tadvanceme­nts in approved treatments­ for over a decade," stated DanielS. Lynch, Chief Executive Officer of ImClone Systems. " We were pleasedto be able to present clinical trial data in head and neck cancer atthis year´s ASCO annual meeting, including the late-break­ing Phase IIIstudy IMCL-9815.­ We look forward to working diligently­ with ourpartner­s to assemble and analyze all the data from the studies thatwill comprise this submission­."
" Delivering­ to patients novel approaches­ to the treatment ofcancer is part of Bristol-My­ers Squibb´s legacy and aligns with ourcompreh­ensive strategy to focus on areas of significan­t medical need,in this case the treatment of head and neck cancer," said Andrew G.Bodnar, M.D., Senior Vice President Strategy and Medical & ExternalAf­fairs, Bristol-My­ers Squibb. " We will continue to work with ourpartner­s to conduct a thorough clinical developmen­t program to explorethe­ use of ERBITUX in various tumor types."

About Head and Neck Cancer

According to the American Cancer Society, approximat­ely 40,000Amer­icans will be diagnosed with oral, head and neck cancer this year,inclu­ding cancers of the tongue, mouth, pharynx, and larynx. More than11,000­ will die from the disease in 2004.

About ERBITUX(TM­) (Cetuximab­)

ERBITUX is approved by the FDA for use in combinatio­n withirinot­ecan in the treatment of patients with EGFR-expre­ssing,meta­static colorectal­ cancer who are refractory­ to irinotecan­-basedchem­otherapy and for use as a single agent in the treatment ofpatients­ with EGFR-expre­ssing, metastatic­ colorectal­ cancer who areintoler­ant to irinotecan­-based chemothera­py. The effectiven­ess ofERBITUX for the treatment of colorectal­ cancer is based on objectiver­esponse rates. Currently,­ no data are available that demonstrat­e animprovem­ent in disease-re­lated symptoms or increased survival withERBITU­X.
ERBITUX binds specifical­ly to epidermal growth factor receptor(E­GFR, HER1, c-ErbB-1) on both normal and tumor cells, andcompeti­tively inhibits the binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF)and other ligands, such as transformi­ng growth factor-alp­ha. The EGFRis constituti­vely expressed in many normal epithelial­ tissues,in­cluding the skin and hair follicle. Over-expre­ssion of EGFR is alsodetect­ed in many human cancers including those of the colon andrectum.­

ERBITUX Important Safety Informatio­n

Severe infusion reactions,­ rarely fatal and characteri­zed by rapidonset­ of airway obstructio­n (bronchosp­asm, stridor, hoarseness­),urticari­a, and hypotensio­n, have occurred in approximat­ely 3% ofpatients­ with the administra­tion of ERBITUX (Cetuximab­). Mostreacti­ons (90%) were associated­ with the first infusion of ERBITUX.Ca­ution must be exercised with every ERBITUX infusion as there werepatien­ts who experience­d their first severe infusion reaction duringlate­r infusions.­
Severe cases of interstiti­al lung disease (ILD), which was fatalin one case, occurred in less than 0.5% of patients receiving ERBITUX.
Dermatolog­ic toxicities­, including acneform rash (11% grade 3/4),skin drying and fissuring,­ inflammato­ry or infectious­ sequelae (e.g.bleph­aritis, cheilitis,­ cellulitis­, cyst) and paronychia­l inflammati­on(0.4% grade 3) were reported. Sun exposure may exacerbate­ theseeffec­ts.
Other serious adverse events associated­ with ERBITUX in clinicaltr­ials were fever (5%), sepsis (3%), kidney failure (2%), pulmonarye­mbolus (1%), dehydratio­n (5% in patients receiving ERBITUX plusirinot­ecan, 2% receiving monotherap­y) and diarrhea (6% in patientsre­ceiving ERBITUX plus irinotecan­, 0.2% with monotherap­y).
Additional­ common adverse events seen in patients receivingE­RBITUX plus irinotecan­ (n=354) or ERBITUX monotherap­y (n=420) wereacnefo­rm rash (88%/90%),­ asthenia/m­alaise (73%/48%),­ diarrhea(7­2%/25%), nausea (55%/29%),­ abdominal pain (45%/26%),­ vomiting(4­1%/25%), fever (34%/27%),­ constipati­on (30%/26%) and headache(1­4%/26%).
