Abgenix moving up before the open. Looks like 123. With 4.852 million shares, they have stock worth $600 million + over $250 million in cash. That gives $850 mill. Throw in a few million for their facilities and you have a book value over $25/share.

They also have revenues of $40 mill + around $12 to $15 million interest on their cash. That should be enough to be profitable independent of the gain from the cash.

They have a drug pipeline for the following

Cancer vaccines
GVAX© Prostate Cancer (should reach Phase III this year)
GVAX© Pancreatic Cancer
GVAX© Lung Cancer
GVAX© Myeloma
GVAX© Leukemia

Gene therapy for
Hemophilia A
Hemophilia B
Antiangiogenesis
Restenosis
Parkinson's Disease

They also have the gene activation licensing program. The deal with Aventis and Transkaryotic is the most visible example of this and could generate significant revenues as early as next year.

I notice that CNBC is doing interviews at the Goldman Sachs conference. So there is a chance the rumor is correct.
