SmallCap Sentinel: Biotech Analysts Predict Small Caps to Outperform Large Caps This Year


IRVINE, Calif., May 3, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- "Analysts at the recent Bio 2006 Conference in Chicago were bullish in their sentiment regarding small cap biotech companies," said SmallCap Sentinel analyst D.R. Clark. "What's being reported is borderline zealous, with analysts from leading houses on the record extolling the fortunes of smaller drug companies."

"In fact, in a recent news release, Samaritan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMEX:LIV) reported that Merrill Lynch VP of Biotechnology David W. Munno had stated that 'Large-cap biotech firms need some blockbuster products for meaningful growth which is more than likely to come from small- to mid-sized biotechs,' at the Bio 2006 conference," Clark added. "Other leading biotech analysts were similarly enthusiastic."
