AbbVie Inc.ABBVBUYAug 26, 2020Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jun 05, 2026. Market Open.
Seems to have grown to a bigger piece of the portfolio than the investor is comfortable with. Doesn't have too strong an opinion on this particular stock. If you want to trim, a great way is to sell a covered call -- you sell somebody the right to buy the stock from you at a higher price.
With shares right now around $194, you can sell a September $200 call for about $4.50. If the stock doesn't go up, then you end up just hanging on to your stock.
Likes the sector. Also owns Merck, Regeneron, and LZAGY. ABBV is in immunology and oncology. 8x forward earnings, 8% growth rate, pretty fair valuation. Also involved in Covid antibodies. Likes the combination of decent growth and nice dividend of about 5%.
