Roche Says Illumina is Not Apple
April 12, 2012
April 12, 2012 | With a week to go before Illumina's annual meeting, Roche sent another letter to shareholders yesterday assuring them that Illumina is not Apple. Illumina has made good use of a journalist's quote comparing the two companies, but Roche hopes to squelch such comparisons. What Roche did not mention in the letter was that three independent advisory firms have sided with Illumina and advised against selling at this point. Wall Street Journal
