Now what: This isn't the first time that rumorshave floated around that Intercept might be a buyout target asroughly a year ago another reported surfaced saying that the companycould action itself off as it received interest from a handful oflarge pharma companies that including Gilead Sciences(NASDAQ:GILD).
If Friday's rumors do prove to be true, then Gilead Sciences mightbe an idealacquirer for Intercept as it already has a strong position theliver disease markets, so Intercept could be an interesting strategicfit. It's also worth remembering that Gilead Sciences ended 2015 with$26.2 billion in cash, so it has plenty of capital to make anacquisition if it choose to.
