Shares of Biogen (BIIB) are trading down about 3% after Mylan's (MYL) inter partes review on key multiple sclerosis drug Tecfidera got "instituted," Mizuho analyst Salim Syed tells investors in a research note. The timing was as expected, and most biotech IPRs in general get instituted, explains the analyst. He says that while historical biotech IPR data suggests Biogen has a 31% chance of losing, the company's odds are "materially less" for two reasons. One, Tecfidera intellectual property is already "battle-tested," and two, there are 20 claims being disputed in this IPR and Mylan needs to win on all of them while Biogen needs to win on only one claim to be successful, Syed writes. He has a Buy rating on Biogen with a $427 price target.
