the thing that baffles me is if LGND has one of the best pipelines in the biz for a small biotech, why doesn't Wall st know this? Maybe because LGND is inept at promoting itself?

My own personal take is that the street isn't interested in rewarding LGND on the nda of panretin is because it addresses a shrinking patient base that was already extremely small to begin with. As I have telegraphed before, I'm going to assume that Panretin has some nice off label usages that LGND is keeping quiet on. Other than that, Panretin just isn't an exciting blockbuster drug. Now, if Targetin pans out as the wonder drug as it has shown in rats (YEAH I LOVE RATS!!) and it works on diabetics, various cancers etc, then Wall st will have something to cheer about.
