Johnson & Johnson is reportedly exploring the acquisition of biopharmaceutical company Intra-Cellular Therapies, according to Bloomberg News. The potential deal, valued at approximately $10 billion, could be finalized as early as this week, though discussions remain in early stages.
Intra-Cellular Therapies is renowned for Caplyta, its FDA-approved treatment for schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. Acquiring the company would bolster J&J’s neuroscience portfolio, helping mitigate revenue declines expected from upcoming patent expirations on its blockbuster drugs.
Despite the promising prospects, sources caution that negotiations may not result in a finalized agreement. Intra-Cellular’s stock surged nearly 15% last Friday, reflecting heightened investor optimism over the potential acquisition.
J&J continues to focus on high-growth therapeutic areas to strengthen its pharmaceutical division amidst growing market competition. If successful, this acquisition would align with the company's strategy to expand its innovative treatments and sustain long-term growth.
