    As an aside to valuations, it is worth noting the revenue growth potential of biotech products.

    I looked into the annual revenue growth of Keytruda (a cancer drug) for a biotech investment the other day.

    This is what I found going through the annual filings for Merck:
    • 2015: USD $566M (launch year)
    • 2016: USD $1,402M (YoY growth 248%)
    • 2017: USD $3,809M (YoY growth 272%)
    • 2018: USD $7,171M (YoY growth 188%)
    • 2019: USD $11,084M (YoY growth 155%)
    So that is average annual revenue growth for this new cancer drug 216%.

    When you consider the rollout of remestemcel-l to regions outside the US you can see how quite dramatic growth could be achieved.
