Bachelor Thesis - DCF of biopharma firm (CELG) - No concrete research reports/sources for the forecast of the FCF available

Hello guys, I am a student from a European university. As part of my bachelor thesis I have to do a DCF analysis on a biopharma company (CELG). However, I have problems finding useful information to forecast the FCF; so far I only went through company filings and presentations.

I am looking for industry and equity research related to future cash flows. Through my uni I have access to Reuters EIKON and WRDS (Wharton Research). Unfortunately, I did not find any useful data regarding this there. I only found company snapchots on EBSCO by Acquis Data and MarketLine and one equity research report from CS from 2016 on Google.

My Questions: -Where do you find such data as a student? I am expected to write academically, which I find kind of hard as I have not a lot of information to base my assumptions on right now (and not academic sources).

-Into how much detail would you go for the FCF forecast (individual drug forecasts for the FCF, patent expirations, etc.)? I am still unsure on this as I have ~ 7 weeks for the thesis and still have to get an overview.

Would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
