Celgene falls 8 percent after Wellington Management says it opposes Bristol-Myers acquisition

div > div.group > p:first-child"> In January, Bristol-Myers Squibb announced its plans to buy cancer drugmaker Celgene in a cash and stock deal valued at $74 billion.

Wellington Management is the largest institutional holder of Bristol's common stock at about 8 percent. Wellington said in a release that it"does not believe that the Celgene transaction is an attractive path towards" business that"secures differentiated science and broadens the future revenue base."

Wellington said the acquisition asks Bristol's shareholders to accept too much risk while there are other paths to create value for shareholders. The investment company also worries the execution of the acquisition will be more difficult than depicted by company management.Celgene has also been working on an experiential gene therapy that is a highly competitive and potentiality profitable area of the biotech industry.
