Pays a really nice dividend. Really nice drug pipeline. Inexpensive. Reasonably wide moat.

He's backing off on it, because he's trying to see some good news in their Cobenfy drug.

Was a mistake buying this. Cobenfy is an effective drug but sales are disappointing. Are few biotechs he'd buy now apart from Eli Lilly.

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.

Has never been this cheap. Has high hopes for their new central nervous system drug; it if doesn't work, he will sell BMY.

You're betting on their drug pipeline.

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.

She bought it because the industry has underperformed many years; they're facing several drugs coming off patent, but are developing new drugs they will bring to market. Trades under 9x PE and pays a 4.6% dividend. This industry will benefit greatly from AI.

It reports Thursday. Watch for news on Cobenfy, the new schizophrenia drug in 30 years, and potentially good. And with their yield, BMY is one of his favourites.

Shares are down, but buy more. Their new schizophrenia drug is super, and the stock pays a 4% dividend. A great CEO.

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.
