My only rationale is big money knew that buyout was imminent and was not bidding their shares.

Well I jumped back on AH. Maybe fomo but interested to see if I can make a buck on BO

My only regret is that all of my shares are in retirement accounts or my kids utmas

A 10% penalty on 100-400% gains is worth a little immediate withdrawal gratification.

I have 10 whole shares. Someone text me when it’s the best time to sell.

Did anyone catch the projected sales numbers from the last week? That, or additional study data might have been a trigger for today's buyout bid.

2021 guidance has remained unchanged since 5 AUG. Greenleaf said 40-50 million.
Q3 earnings has been pegged at 14.7 million for at least 3 weeks. In all actuality I think it exceeds 18 million.
The kicker could very well be GSK’s shite data on Benlysta, which is a poor, but more established competitor to Lupkynis.
Benlysta’s two year data rendered the drug essentially useless whereas Aurinia’s Voc/Lupkynis demonstrated stellar 33 month data over the summer.
The full 3 year A2 data is due Q4. I’m sure Bristol has had a look…
All that to say, Lupkynis should soon be designated the Standard of Care for a market of 100k patients in the US alone. SOC designation should yield at least 50k patients.
50,000 x $65k annually is upwards of 3b/year with a 16 year patent life.
This has been a no brainer since phase 3 was successful in December of 2019, which is why I’ve never showed concern for the stock price when down. I’m all in.
A buyout below 7 billion would be criminal.

How did you get so interested in this stock on the front end? Do you work in this industry?
Posted on 10/22/21 at 8:38 pm to GeneralLee
I don’t know. I’m an obsessive reader when I get interested in something, and the more I read about AUPH the more I liked it.
I started buying just before phase 2 data readout.
I didn’t even know what a public offering was back then. I soon found out when we jumped from $3 to $10 then fell off a cliff haha.
I’ve enjoyed the process and I’ve learned a lot.
I can’t explain why it just clicked with AUPH.
I like the rare disease space now. It’s so much simpler than oncology.
Have a huge need for a small patient population with little to no competition and a successful trial drug?
Check.
Would love for it to happen again.

I think you're right. And given the lack of a competing alternative I would guess the buyout is also going to be increased by a monopoly extending through 2037 (barring a new drug sometime in the next decade).

Motley Fool guessing the deal will be 7-8 bn.

So double the current share price.
If not out there monday PM, I might throw another 10K at it

Which would imply $56 or $62 a share. And might be cheap as hell in terms of the long term value for the buyer.

I think you’ve got 144 million total float with employee option and such.
$48.61 at 7 billion if my math is correct.

So, was the play ever to cash out after a buyout, or do your shares roll over and you just stay on board?
Posted on 10/23/21 at 6:39 am to beauxgus
Definitely cash out to better utilize that money.
Likely it’ll be a cash deal and not not a share to share swap.
So investors will lose their shares anyway.

BB88, can I be lazy and ask for your estimated share price for buyout between 6 and 11 B (at each 1 Billion increment)? TIA

5B - $34.72
6B - $41.66
7B - $48.61
8B - $55.55
9B - $62.49
10B- $69.43
11B- $76.37
12B- $83.31
That should be fully dilluted with 144m shares outstanding (indludes employee packages).
The good news is I think we have a fairly hungry buyer who is feeling pressure to close a deal. BMY just got snubbed by losing 11.5% ownership in Acceleron Pharma due to Merck's 11.5 bn dollar takeover.

Thank you! Praying for at least a 5-handle on the price. In the money big time regardless, and have you to thank.

Crazy, dumb question. Is it too late to buy a few shares and try to swing a moderate profit?
Not trying to make a killing here. Just new to the party and never read this thread till glazing over it now.
