Perhaps Ligand's earlier-stage pipeline projects development could be accellerated by new potential alliances. Hopefully the new deals could more easily be made for greater up-front cash payments and better royalty splits-rather than equity sales (even at a premium). Could we see a deal or 2 in the 2nd half that would make the Lilly alliance look like a givaway? At the very least, Ligand should have much more leverage regarding up-front cash. Ligand at this point has shown superiority in 2 aspects of the business: Creating new products to add to it's pipeline, and conducting clinicals rapidly and with little error. Those 2 capabilities could be selling at much greater premiums soon. The prospect of this could affect the stock price before 2H, given the usual caveat that the street has to figure this out. The signposts seem to be getting bigger each day.
