Onyx Pharmaceuticals (ONXX) Amgen Bid, review

Onyx Pharmaceuticals (ONXX) is up roughly 50% today on news that Amgen made a $120 per share bid to buy the company, which was rejected.

I certainly agree with the Board that the bid undervalued Onyx. Whether there will be a bidding war is a matter of speculation. I believe that Onyx can do well continuing to operate independently if no reasonable buyout offer is made.

Since no substantial new information is available for analysis, I just going to provide links to my prior articles. Note that the buy-side, Wall Street analysts that are touting ONXX today were mostly dissing in back in 2008-2012.
