EPS of $1.63 beat estimates of $1.52 and sales of $12.2B beat estimates of $11.8B. Sales grew 3%, and management raised its 2025 revenue guidance to a range of $47.5B to $48.0B. Its growth portfolio sales of newer/higher-growth drugs were up 18% year-over-year, while its legacy portfolio sales were down 12%. These were decent results, and the price action looks decent, we think there is possibility that the name can rebound eventually if its growth portfolio continues to outpace its legacy portfolio.

They have huge oncology franchise, but face a huge patent cliff. But they have a some promising drugs. He owns this partly for the 5.6% dividend. He took shares off the table when the stock spiked earlier this year, but at current levels, he's watching the price go lower before buying again.
It's turned around in the last 6 months under the new CEO, rallying 40%. In the face of expiring drug patents, they launched a revolutionary schizophrenia drug. He also likes the rest of their pipeline to treat cardiovascular disease and oncology. He bought shares late last year.
Stock has been hot since the summer when the new CEO took over, then they got approval for their schizophrenia drugs. (Abbvie's drug failed last month.) But BMY has fallen 9% in the past 4 weeks--maybe because of concerns over the group, not the stock. Trades at only 7.9x PE 2025, and pays a 4.4% dividend which just increased last week. The stock is dirt cheap.
Has had a good run since ’09 and pays a good dividend but is expensive relative to its pier group. Lots of strength has been driven on the back of a heart drug that is approved in Europe and Canada. Could be a big blockbuster drug for them. If FDA approves stock will move higher but if not approved there will be significant downside so he lightened up, waiting for the announcement.
