Pfizer Inc is in early-stage talks to acquire cancer drugmaker Seagen Inc in what could be a multi-billion dollar deal, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Seagen had a market capitalization of roughly $30 billion, as of Friday's close., in a deal that would have been worth $40 billion or more, the Journal reported last year, but the two sides failed to reach an agreement, according to multiple reports.

Seagen's shares have fallen nearly 10% since July, when the deal talks with Merck were first reported. They rose 12.3% to $182 in premarket trading on Monday. Pfizer declined to comment on the WSJ report, while Seagen did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.it expects to lose $17 billion in annual sales between 2025 and 2030 due to patent expirations for top drugs, and sales of its COVID-19 products have begun to decline after they contributed to an unprecedented surge in revenue.

Of course this evil drug maker wants their paws in everything. Are they going to find a cure . Probably not eh . Money money money. Greedy corrupt bastards

Well that is their business model…create the health crisis and then sell the drug to fix it….or make it worse whatever….either way it’s win win.

Of course.

Probably so they can run it into the ground.

Which means there will never be a cancer drug that cures cancer 100p.
