Top Biotech Pharma Companies 2017

The biotech industry was largely down in 2016 due to debates on high treatment prices throughout the presidential election. However, by the first half of 2017, biotech investors no longer feared the threat of price controls that had loomed over the sector in the previous year. 

By June 2017, there had already been 23 biotech IPOs, and the market saw increased competition and value-based pricing–sending the biotech industry to its highest point since 2015. The year would end with a total of 44 IPOs by healthcare companies. 

One of the largest deals of the year, and ever to a private European pharma company, was Roivant Sciences. The Switzerland-based biotechnology startup raised $1.1B from Founders Fund and SoftBank Group.

FAQ: 

What is biotechnology? 

Biotechnology is the use of biology to develop products using living materials. The most prominent approach is genetic engineering. Biotech companies mainly work in the fields of medicine, agriculture, and crop production. 

What is an IPO? 

Initial public offering, or IPO, is the process of a privately owned company (not listed on the stock exchange) selling its shares for the first time. This allows the company to raise equity capital from public investors. 

What is a share price and market cap? 

Share price indicates the value of the stock to buyers and sellers. It is the amount it would cost to buy a single share in a company. This is a reflection of the company’s value, and the total value of a company is called its market cap. This is determined by multiplying the price of a stock by its total number of outstanding shares. 

How does CB Insights find the top IPO companies? 

CB Insights has an extensive database of private and public companies, and is adding to the database daily by scanning public documents. Based on the in depth tagging process within our system, users can easily find records on the top IPO companies each year.
