Seeking Alpha: Risk And Reward Seem Pretty Balanced At Seattle Genetics

Oncology biotech Seattle Genetics (NASDAQ:SGEN) has had a bit of an interesting ride since I reviewed the company's prospects and valuation back in December. The shares moved up about 40% through February of this year on optimism for the company's deep portfolio of antibody drug conjugate (or ADC) compounds, not to mention biotech enthusiasm in general, before getting caught up in the great biotech washout and fears tied to the safety of lead drug Adcetris and changes to clinical trials. Add in some concerns about competition from immuno-oncology drugs and there's a lot to digest. When it is all said and done, not all that much has changed on a "net basis" in my view - Seattle Genetics doesn't look as compelling on a value basis, but there's significant upside if clinical trial read-outs de-risk the pipeline.
