EXEL short on unpriced Handa generic approval
Author claims Exelixis relies on cabozantinib (CABOMETYX) for essentially all revenue (~$2B/yr) and that the FDA gave full approval to Handa's generic on 9/3, meaning patent disputes are resolved and the cheaper drug can sell in the US immediately. He notes EXEL voluntarily withdrew its Delaware suit against Handa on 8/31 and its FDA citizen petition failed, so the recent ~20% rally on patent-win headlines is misplaced. The catalyst is Wall Street connecting these dots, since the approval news was only in Taiwanese sources; main risk is that the market has already priced the generic or its launch is delayed.
