Really likes it. Breaking out to new highs. He'd be a buyer. Next upside resistance is around the $400 level.
He's been talking to their US sales team about biotech and healthcare in general. If they're correct on the broader market call, then biotech should outperform some of the more defensive areas in healthcare into 2027.
Beaten up a bit, as has the whole space by the Trump administration. Chart shows fantastic trend. Came off a bit, but finding its legs at the lower part of the channel. Hint: on a down day, what goes down less than the market is usually (not always) where the action might come from first.
These guys look at the hard diseases with unmet needs. Executes really well. Fantastic pipeline, and that's what the drug companies are all about. The most money is made buy sitting on your hands; once you take your initial position, just sit back, and in 10 years, you'll be a happy investor. Yield is 3.23%.
Going into a presidential cycle, healthcare is the easiest target in the world. Drug prices in the US, unlike Canada, are incredibly high. Every major drug company is there, because they can charge whatever they like for drugs. This is why a lot of these types of stocks have gone down. He likes this one a lot, and has bought more at these levels. They have a great pipeline, it is not expensive and pays a great dividend.
