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.
(A Top Pick May 12/20, Up 24%) He's sticking with it. There's more upside to come. Their biggest product was Humera, a massive drug. A few years ago, they bought Allergan and their Botox drug, which reduced company dependence on Humera for company revenues. ABBV has some new drugs in the pipeline that are reaching $1 billion in sales, so this further spreads the risk away from Humera. It trades at a cheap 9x PE and pays a 5% dividend. Warning: in 2023, Humera goes off patent and that will mean a challenge for ABBV to replace that revenue stream (Humera makes up 32% of all revenues, though it used to be 65% before Botox).
