LCPPO provides a new optic for plotting performance dynamics of the large pharma companies and the sector in aggregate. Utilizing extensive projections, the reports give industry participants insight into their competitive position, identify product revenue ambiguity over the forecast period and project performance outlooks for large pharma companies.

It can also effectively analyze pro forma As a matter of form or for the sake of form.

"Custom analysis is readily available using our LCPPO platform," said Scott Hinds, Product Manager of LCPPO. "After Merck voluntarily withdrew Vioxx from the market, we immediately updated the LCPPO analysis and provided clients with a new perspective the day of the event."

The LCPPO model is also one element of the analytical framework used to assess the impact of Medicare Part D legislation on market cap and strategic positioning of large cap pharma. This analysis is highlighted in AVOS' Medicare Drug Benefit Outlooks reports.
