“Traditional screening tools don’t work for biotech. P/E, EV/EBITDA, revenue multiples. None of it applies when the company has no revenue, no earnings, and a lead asset sitting in Phase 1. The entire value of a pre-revenue biotech lives in its pipeline, and the pipeline’s value depends on a chain of clinical, regulatory, and commercial probabilities that most screeners don’t even attempt to quantify.I wanted a framework that actually did. So I built one,” wrote Sean Koth, finance student at Fordham’s Gabelli School of Business.
