Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Exelixis stock:

• 1. Cann analysts commented, "Exelixis, Inc. announced today a settlement of the company’s dispute with Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, concerning the parties’ collaboration for the development and commercialization of Cotellic (cobimetinib). As part of the settlement, effective July 1, 2017, the companies have amended the existing Collaboration Agreement to revise the revenue and cost-sharing arrangements for the collaboration. The Amendment resolves the companies’ dispute pursuant to the arbitration demand filed on June 3, 2016." (7/20/2017)
• 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Exelixis received a major boost with the FDA approval of Cabometyx tablets in Apr 2016. Initial uptake of the drug was encouraging and is expected to propel the top line in the forthcoming quarters in 2017. The sequential increase in Cabometyx sales is also a positive. Moreover, Cabometyx was also approved in the EU. Meanwhile, Exelixis is developing cabozantinib in a broad development program and plans to file a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) in the third quarter of 2017 for advanced RCC. A potential label expansion will further boost sales. Exelixis also has collaborations with Bristol-Myers and Roche on the development of cabozantinib in combination with immunotherapy agents. Exelixis’ share price outperformed the Zacks classified Biomedical and Genetics industry year to date. However, the company is heavily dependent on Cabometyx for growth now.  Operating expenses are also projected to increase." (7/11/2017)
