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%.
A larger cap pure play biotech company, that has a deep pipeline in bio-similars. He doesn’t see competition in the near term for their drug Enbrow (?), which is 3%-2.5% of their top line. They have some drugs that have come off patent, and need to backfill on the top line. One way they were looking to do this was through the PCSK9 drug, a cardio cholesterol lowering drug. Initially they came out with positive results. He bought a Put for some protection. A great balance sheet and an OK yield and modest growth. He is monitoring this. Rates it as a very strong Hold.
