Millennium May Seek In-Licensing Deals In Next Year
06.29.05, 2:47 PM ET

Credit Suisse First Boston maintained a "neutral" rating on Millennium Pharmaceuticals (nasdaq: MLNM - news - people ) after the biotech firm named a new chief executive. Millennium said Deborah Dunsire, previously head of the North American oncology division for Novartis (nyse: NVS - news - people ), will takeover for co-founder Mark Levin.

"Dr. Dunsire plans to use the upcoming months to take a 'fresh look' at the company. This will include a review of the pipeline as well as opportunities for 'operational efficiencies'," said CSFB.

The research firm maintained a $12 price target on the stock. "Much debate has centered on Millennium's ability to reach 2006 profitability without a re-acceleration of revenue growth or drastic cost cuts," it said. "We are more concerned about long-term earnings prospects and project 2008 earnings per share of just 13 cents. We believe Millennium will seek late-stage in-licensing opportunities over the next year in a bid to drive longer-term growth, at the potential expense of 2006 profits."
