Enough top-performing CAPS members have turned bullish on Human Genome Sciences
Human Genome Sciences' first quarter revenue of $177 million blew away last year's comparable amount and even far surpassed the $48 million it recorded for the full year 2008 thanks to sales of its anthrax treatment ABthrax to the U.S. government. It fulfilled the bulk of its contract to deliver the doses to the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile, but it's working to secure more contracts for the drug.
Beyond the Anthrax product, the company is partnered with Novartis
The company is also inching closer to issuing phase 3 results for its lupus -- specifically SLE -- treatment, which is being developed with GlaxoSmithKline
To see what the very best CAPS analysts are saying now about Human Genome Sciences -- as well as other winning stocks they are picking -- head on over to CAPS and have a look. The community research and resources in CAPS are totally free, unlike analyst opinions reserved for paying clients.
