Luis, has something changed? Lidakol has the manufacturing rights and there has been no press release to the contrary. They have a contract manufacturer that will make it for them to sell to BMY plus they get royalties. I don't understand your statement unless I missed something.
Now I do not understand how pricing works in pharmaceuticals, but if a perscription costs $50, then BMY sells it to the pharmacy for 25, and Lidak sells it to BMY for 12 and Lidak pays 6 to the contract manufacturer. So Lidak might make $6 per perscription. Plus say 10% royalty on $25 dollars of BMY's sales gives $8.50 on each $50 sale.
So if we have a $100 million drug (conservative), then that is around 0.50/share to Lidak. A billion dollar drug would be $5/share. This potential would not surprise me if my tentative analysis of the drugs effectiveness is true.
