    The "Roivant Compounding Fantasy" relies on a lazy sum-of-the-parts calculation, treating binary litigation windfalls and a crowded autoimmune pipeline as a bulletproof thesis. Here is why the market is mispricing the structural friction inside Roivant's hub-and-spoke model: 1. The IP Litigation Trap: Relying on the Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA lawsuit for near-term re-rating is highly speculative.
