This week saw the trend of biotech follow-on offerings outperforming the rest of the market. The five biotech offerings opened 1.9% higher (on average) at first trade and closed their first days of trading with a gain of 5.4% (on average). Among deals larger than $25m, the week’s best performing offering was Alder Biopharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ALDR) which opened 5.5% above the offering price and ultimately closed 19.5% higher. The deal, underwritten by Leerink and Wells Fargo, had mixed signals leading up to pricing as ‘ALDR’ traded poorly in its one-day of marketing (actually down 17%). Other deals that performed well this week included Shiloh Industries (Nasdaq: SHLO) and Arena Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ARNA) which opened 4.2% and 2.7% above their offering prices, respectively. IPO Boutique placed BUY ratings on both of those offerings. The week’s largest offering was a $610m block of Restaurant Brands International (NYSE: QSR) from Credit Suisse. The offering, which IPO Boutique placed a Neutral rating on, traded flat upon opening and for the day.
