Update: Repositioning for growth

Zeltia is laying the groundwork for an important 12-18 month period that could provide significant growth and value creation. Plans to restructure the group (through a reverse merger whereby its PharmaMar division will absorb the parent company, Zeltia) and seek an IPO in the US could be transformational in terms of strengthening its financial and commercial abilities. Then there is the potential for the oncology pipeline to provide upside as it enters a catalyst-rich period. We raise our valuation to €1.03bn or €4.65 per share, ahead of a number of key catalysts in 2015.
