TG Therapeutics (TGTX) - undervalued by as much as 300% by my modelling

I have updated my pricing model for TG Therapeutics (TGTX). My new price target has increased to $26-$39 giving TGTX over 300% upside from today's share price.

For the risk-adverse investor this is a very attractive investment opportunity.

I have made the following changes to my model:

- added the TG-1303 program, this is a pivotal Phase 3 trial now actively recruiting.
- price for TG-1303 is estimated at $80,000 per year. This places it conservatively between the price of Gazyva + chemo & Imbruvica (~$50k & ~$100k).
- 10% market penetration used for TG-1303, the CLL space is crowded however TG-1303's best-in-class safety profile and excellent efficacy should enable it to win sizable market share.
- lowered market penetration estimate for TG1101 & Ibrutinib to 15% from 25% because of the emergence of Acalabrulim. Acalabrulim will be a direct competitor and is showing comparable efficacy and safety profiles to TG1101.
- added royalties and milestone payments.
- added the breakdown of patients between USA & EU and pricing estimates between USA and EU
- lowered price/sales ratio to 8 from 10, considering the change to negative in biotechnology sentiment.
- No value assigned for the sort indication in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This is a very lucrative indication that alone would be valued higher than all its other current programs.

Below is my model with its detailed assumptions:

Medical Stocks Technical Watchlist - Feb 2016

LABD
BIS
NAII
ARGS
SCAI
CERS
SPHS
IPCI


My latest medical stocks technical watchlist is very short since this sector is in sharp decline. This year the IBB Biotech Index is already down a staggering 25% so I am not confident buying into this market. Biotech stocks began declining around Aug 2015 and are now down around 38%. 



My fund is now holding close to maximum cash and waiting for improvements in market sentiment to open new positions.
