I came up with the following model (and I apologize for the formatting):

So, a few points: - I excluded obesity revenue, but I'll get back to that later... - I excluded interest expense (because it is not that significant) - I used $100M in non-cash add-backs as a "plug" - I excluded significant CapEx in the DCF, as I don't see the company needing much... If I plug those numbers into a DCF, and discount the result at 14%, I get a value of $14.50 per share. Amylin has debt, though, and that amounts to about $4.50/share (assuming that they cannot just continue to roll it over or convert it at favorable rates). Now, obesity ... if I assign $1B in total revenue potential to the obesity program and discount it both by the likelihood of approval (25%) and the split between AMLN and Takeda, I get a value somewhere in the $4 range. So, at a bottom line, Amylin should be worth something like $14 today, based on an assumption that Bydureon gets approved in 2012, maxes out at $1.5B/yr, and that obesity contributes about $4 in share value in five years' time and beyond. I realize this is a crude model and a crude approach to the problem, but I figure it's at least an educated guess...
