Astellas: ready to be acquired!

mature portfolio driven entirely by discounting prices, small sales teams, no new partnerships or products in main areas, and a long-term pipeline. Simple equation adds up to being acquired, but who is the likely buyer...Takeda, Abbvie, Eli Lilly or maybe AZ or BMS?
 






What a nightmare! That's all we need is more big pharma. Maybe Pfizer will buy us since we promote Lipitor in JPN and then we will all get decent severence packages $$.

You are truely a GENIUS! The prediction that a pharma company may be acquired or merge with another company in our industry. You must be highly educated (or be in the marketing dept), did you find it at the bottom of a box of cracker jacks. Maybe if you eat another box you will get that magical decoder ring to help you determine who will buy Astellas! DUMB ASS!!
 












Interesting, when was the last time you heard of a Japanese company being aqcuired, they dont have global shares and most domestic Japan shares are held by Japanese companies or domestic investors, so its very difficult to buy a Japanese company. An agreed merger on the other hand is quite possible.
