Over the last years, the growth rate of biotech industry has by far outperformed the one of the classical pharma industry. This has not had a positive impact on the profitability of biotech as such – profitability of most classical pharma majors is still higher than the one of most biotech companies – but it has shown in the development of stock prices. Biotechnology stocks have outperformed the ones of classical pharma majors thanks to the hope for future profits.
