"I think that the consensus of the financial analysts on Cervarix is too low," Jean-Pierre Garnier told a news conference.

He later told Reuters that the current consensus for peak annual Cervarix sales was around $1 billion.

GSK expects to file in 2006 for approval to market the product, which will compete with a rival treatment from Merck & Co Inc (MRK.N) . It is expected to take centre-stage at a research update on vaccines planned by GSK for June 30.
