Nektar Therapeutics Reportedly Considering Sale

Nektar Therapeutics is exploring options including a potential sale of the $15 billion biotechnology firm, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The San Francisco company could also opt for partnerships and licensing agreements instead of a disposal, said the people, asking not to be identified because the discussions are private. Nektar has attracted interest from larger drugmakers, though some potential suitors are wary of a full takeover because of the high valuation and risks related to its pipeline of experimental drugs, the people said. No final decisions have been made and considerations may not lead to a transaction, they said.
