Despite tough competition from CELG, Velcade survives very nicely. Am I wrong?


CHICAGO, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Millennium Pharmaceuticals Inc. (MLNM.O: Quote, Profile , Research) on Thursday posted a fourth-quarter profit versus a loss a year earlier, helped by increased sales of its cancer drug Velcade.

The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based biotechnology company posted net profit of $8.3 million, or 3 cents per share, compared with a loss of $43.9 million, or 14 cents a share, a year earlier.

Analysts on average expected earnings of 7 cents a share, according to Reuters Estimates.

Quarterly revenue rose to $140.1 million from $122.3 million a year earlier.

For 2007, the company expects earnings excluding special items of $10 million to $20 million. It forecast a 2007 net loss of between $60 million to $90 million. The difference is due to stock options expenses and other special items.

It forecast Velcade sales in a range of $240 million to $260 million, compared to 2006 sales of $220.5 millio
