Medarex downgraded to "peer perform"

Bear Stearns

NEW YORK, December 11 (newratings.com) - Analyst Akhtar Samad of Bear Stearns downgrades Medarex Inc (MEDX.NAS) from "outperform" to "peer perform."

In a research note published this morning, the analyst mentions that Ipilimumab has failed to meet its primary endpoint for the Phase III second-line melanoma monotherapy open label trial with an SPA. The failure has raised the risk of non-approval of Ipilimumab by the FDA and for the remainder of the Phase III trials for Ipilimumab, the data for which is not scheduled for release until late-2008, the analyst adds.

Medarex "underperform," target price reduced
12:20p.m. - RBC Capital Markets

NEW YORK, February 27 (newratings.com) - Analysts at RBC Capital Markets reiterate their "underperform" rating on Medarex Inc (MEDX), while reducing their estimates for the company. The target price has been reduced from $15 to $10.

In a research note published this morning, the analysts mention that the company has posted its 4Q EPS marginally ahead of the estimates, with increased revenues partly offset by higher R&D expenses. Medarex and Bristol are unlikely to file the BLA for Ipilimumab in second-line metastatic melanoma during 1H08, the analysts add. The downward revision in the target price reflects the unlikely approval of Ipilimumab during 2008, RBC Capital Markets says. The EPS estimates for 2008 and 2009 have been reduced from -$1.32 to -$1.47 and from -$0.71 to -$0.89, respectively.
