HOLD
Eli Lilly is a good company. It looks fine. It has come down with the other large cap drug stocks in the States. Need to be patient. It offers decent value here.
DON'T BUY
This is a part of the market that's lagging. There has been such a slowdown in the growth rates.
DON'T BUY
Prefers others such as Abbott Labs (ABT-N).
WEAK BUY
Pharmaceutical sector did very poorly over the last 2 years, but deceleration in revenue growth has slowed and profitability has started to improve. Look for the strongest perfoming stock in the sector. As Eli Lilly (LLY-N) is performing better, that would be the better of the 2, but would suggest you look at Sanofi-Aventis (SNY-N) which is close to new highs and Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA-Q) in generics.
BUY
A little bit of risk in a 3/6 month view as to whether they can retain their patent on Sprizecta (?), but the longer term they have the best drug pipeline and growth in the sector. OK for a long term hold.
TOP PICK
Lots of new products. Rapid profit growth.
TOP PICK
Powerful balance sheet.
TOP PICK
DON'T BUY
Has a very good pipeline. Getting more competition from generic drugs. Too focused on Prozac.
BUY
Pharmaceuticals may be re-establishing themselves for market leadership. Prefers Lily and Abbot
DON'T BUY
Some of their drugs are coming off patent and others not doing as well. Prefers Pfizer or J & J.
HOLD
Good pipeline for new drugs but prefers Pfizer.
DON'T BUY
Prozac about to go generic.
