Comparable Biotech-companies like Sinovac or Quidel have a PE of around 15.
GSK has a KGV of 11 and Roche has a KGV of 12 and these are multi-national Giants !
So imho at least 15 should also be an adequate PE for Biota (some small Biotechs have a PE that is much higher).
Provided that GSK will sell 95 million doses of Relenza (which is imho quite conservative, since this is only 50% of production-capacity), imho this is the calculation of a fair share-price:
95 million x A$25 = 2.375 Billion A$ 7% = 166 million A$ minus let´s say 66 million for costs = 100 A$ / 180 million shares = 0,55 A$
FAIR SHAREPRICE: 0,55 x 15 = A$ 8,25
And this is based ONLY on Relenza-sales and DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PIPELINE !
Including the pipeline the FAIR SHAREPRICE should be ABOVE 10 A$ easily imho.
Analysts like Wilson work with a PE that is much too low and absolutely inadequate for Biotech-companies !
