The biotech sector has gotten a little "interesting" since drug 
pricing re-emerged as a tempting target for political soundbites and 
investors started looking back on just how far the sector has come in 
terms of valuation and multiples. Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ALNY) has taken its share of drubbing, with the shares down about 20% since my last piece
 on concerns about the implications of potential drug pricing reforms on
 its largely orphan drug-focused pipeline, as well as concerns relating 
to the company's Phase III revusiran program.
I wasn't thrilled 
with the valuation back in June, but I think the combination of the 
share price performance and the company's clinical updates makes for a 
more interesting opportunity today. Time will tell whether my estimates 
and model are reasonable, conservative, or aggressive, but I do see 
significant value-add potential over the next six months as more 
information comes out on programs like ALN-CC5, ALN-AT3, ALN-GO1, and 
the core TTR platform.
