Vical Inc. EPS (FY Dec) 2006E ($0.92), 2007E ($1.02) Underperform/Neutral
(VICL) $5.92
At Vicals Analyst Day, management highlighted the companys novel vaccines for
cytomegalovirus (CMV) and influenza. DNA-based vaccines are safer, easier to
manufacture and potentially more effective. However, the programs are relatively
early in development. A P2 trial in CMV for transplant in blood cancer patients
started 2/06 with potential results in 2007. A pandemic flu vaccine may enter P1
studies in 2006. VICL has a broad technology platform in DNA gene delivery, solid
partners, and 2 years cash position. We maintain our Underperform rating while
awaiting progress on proprietary projects. Our coverage view remains Neutral. Risks
to our rating include acceleration of pipeline, avian flu pandemic, and acquisition
potential.
