Not Biotech

Why does Shire call themselves a biotech? They aren't.

who cares?

I'd say you could argue whether or not Shire is even a pharmaceutical company. If it's that, it's one from somewhere around 1998.

Folks need to learn to read the financial section. Management hopes that despite running the company like an assembly line that calling it "biotech" will make investors believe it is innovative and thus generate a share multiple like Biogen, rather than like Valeant, the actual model for Shire.

So what in your professional opinion makes shire not biotech? im guessing you don't really understand what biotech means. Shire is indeed a biotech company with biotech products.

Biotechs have internal R&D driven by great science to develop unique products. They aren't Valeant clones buying anything they can find and then increasing prices and cutting costs with donkey-leaders.

Correct. What you desribe is more "biotechy" which is not biotech but rather a wannabe. Isn't that what Flem was going for?

Then don't participate! Or, maybe you don't have that option because you don't work here. Guess you are one of the non performers who is too immature to look at yourself instead of blaming a company for your failures and inadequacies.

You obviously don't understand. Yes, R+D is part of it and there is still a significant of R+D going on at shire, but the other part of it is the products that the company has both commercialized and in development. Are they biotech products? yes many of them are. Do you know what a biotech product is? Im guessing you don't so please go educate yourself and look it up. By that definition, Shire is indeed a biopharm company. They have biotech products as well as pharmaceutical products. Yes there is a difference.

Technically true... But when the explanation comes from an "eye drop rep" it loses it's credibility. Lately its only those who are on here defending, so if being part of a "biotech" makes you feel free better in your fight to rid the world of the devasting disease known as "dry eyes" then have at it!

Dry eye may not be "sexy". But it will keep the lights on and pay the bills

Um you don't have a product yet idiot, so thats some mighty big talk. And in case you forgot Adderall XR has paid the bills for a while now and Vyvanse is what funds the future. Of which, dry eyes is hardly a future. Probably why everyone is bailing on the Shire ponzi scheme and the stock is down about $100 from a year ago. Nice work "new Shire"
