The STING program currently contributes approximately 53% to our valuation (no contribution from early stage Lilly program currently) and the APRIL program approximately 43%, with the remainder coming from the anti-CD27 program being developed by Merck (MRK; not rated). Our target is based on our clinical net present value (NPV) model. This model allows us to flex multiple assumptions affecting a drug’s potential commercial profile.”

We derive our $36 price target from a sum-of-the-parts analysis based on probability-adjusted revenue forecasts for Rubraca in ovarian cancer combination and prostate cancer indications, and the net present value (NPV) for the current commercial business. We use the NPV of our revenue forecasts through 2028, apply a 40% probability of success (POS) for Rubraca in ovarian combination, and a 45% POS for Rubraca in prostate cancer.”
