BWS Financial Downgrades SciClone Pharmaceuticals (SCLN) to Hold; Valuation Call After Recent Run-Up
BWS Financial downgrades SciClone Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: SCLN) from Buy to Hold.
BWS analyst says, "SCLN shares have been ascending since the beginning of this year. We fear some of the momentum is the cause of the Company indicating that there was stocking of ZADAXIN, thymalfasin, occurring in the early parts of the second quarter. This is likely to lead to second quarter revenue showing a growth rate that is unsustainable. Assumption that SCLN would be able to maintain such a growth rate is misplaced and is a formula for the Company disappointing investors. Therefore, it is prudent to move to the sidelines given that SCLN shares have nearly quintupled from their lows at the beginning of the year."
