The buyout of SRGN removes an important competitor for the treatment of CTCL. They will probably get higher prices for their drugs after buying out the competition for CTCL treatment. That should help to increase Ligands market cap. Maybe Ligand wants to make sure that the 1999 earnings are closer to 80 than to 8 cents. I am still astonished that a treatment of a rare disease like CTCL makes a significant difference to the earnings of a medium sized biotech company.
