Pfizer (PFE) is in early-stage talks to acquire cancer drugmaker Seagen (SGEN) in what could be a multi-billion dollar deal, The Wall Street Journal’s Jared S. Hopkins and Jonathan D. Rockoff report. According to people familiar with the matter, Seagen would be expected to command a premium over its market value of some $30B. Seagen was in advanced talks last year to be acquired by Merck (MRK) in a deal that would have been worth $40B or more, but the two sides failed to reach agreement. Reference Link
