TOP PICK

A long-term fine business and just reported good earnings. It's not in tech or industrials, so it has more stickiness. They made positive plans in their drug pipeline. Seasonally, now is the right time to buy biotech

(Analysts’ price target is $256.05)
BUY

He bought it last week to diversify and get more exposure in pharmaceuticals. They report next week. Compare to Abbvie which just surprised with drug sales. There's some FT overhang, but shares have been bottoming out recently. If they announce good results, investors will chase this next week.

HOLD

Facing a patent crisis as proprietary tech is challenged.
Shares have recently sold off.
Will take time to see how prospects play out.
Good hold, but other places to invest for new investors. 

TOP PICK
Granddaddy of biotech. Even better than it used to be. Very deep bench of drugs. New acquisition will add growth on top of already-decent growth. Very strong financials. Income opportunity, stability, and some growth not yet fully priced in. Yield is 3.14%, well covered at 42%, increased by 11% average annually over 5 years. (Analysts’ price target is $268.80)
BUY
Share have given up a lot since its Horizon Therapeutics deal, making it an opportunity.
BUY
Today, they said they are buying Horizon Therapeutics for $27.8 billion. This deal should close quickly, since there's little overlap of these companies' drugs. Initially, he thought the price was high, but now he likes the deal. An established, big biotech that bought a younger biotech with exciting drugs at a 15% premium. Amgen wants HT's portfolio of drugs treating rare diseases and well-covered by insurance, therefore lucrative. HT's drugs will benefit from Amgen's worldwide distribution.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 03/20, Up 4.1%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with AMGN has triggered its stop at $228. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the holding at this time.
BUY
Some of their key drugs are coming off patent, so he likes how they're making key buys of companies like CCXI, which would give Amgen exposure to drugs for auto-immune diseases and inflammatory conditions. CCXI has one drug on the market to treat blood vessel inflammation and a handful of phase 1 treatments including ulcerative colitis. The deal is good for Amgen.

TOP PICK
Are big worries about inflation and the economy and war. So, be in the US dollar, which should rally if the world goes deflationary. This is also a big name, and there's a massive rotation into the drug companies. He target $272. It pays a 3% dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $242.24)

TOP PICK
This name has been beaten up and now offers value. There is concern that markets could experience a pull-back and one way to play that is this one. It is a large entity in the healthcare space and has under-performed its space. As we push out of the pandemic we are going to see increased regular appointments and more diagnostics. This company offers decent value. (Analysts’ price target is $243.05)
WAIT
It has been under-performing the overall market. Biotechs don't do well at this point seasonally. Its seasonal period starts in June and the trade could setup quite well. Don't look at it at this time.
