Day Trader Alert: Gilead Sciences (GILD)
Published:
Last Updated:
Gilead Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: GILD) is trading down this morning. Goldman Sachs maintained its buy rating on the stock, but took down its price target to $58 from $59. This report is after a negative complete response letter from FDA regarding aztreonam lysine for cystic fibrosis. Based upon the response, Goldman Sachs reduced the sales targets for 2008 by $20 million and 2009 by $110 million for the drug despite Gilead’s statement that it continues to work with the FDA on the issue.
The biotech giant is down roughly 4% at $47.70 on more than 36,000 shares. Its 52-week trading range is $37.17 to $57.63. While this is well above the 52-week lows, it is also the largest pullback from highs that we have seen over the last year.
