If he's right about a correction in 2025, money managers will rotate into defensive areas like staples, utilities, healthcare and REITs. Their chart was in a big downtrend in recent years. PFE's chart has a double bottom this year. Relative strength is moving up. Also, volumes has popped around $25 (trough). The risk/reward is good. You're paid 6.5% to wait, too. $25 is big technical support.
(Analysts’ price target is $32.04)You'd have thought they'd be hit more by tariffs, as Trump hammers on that many drug components are made overseas.

His healthcare investments focus on health management like UNH and medical devices.
Organic growth in large cap pharmaceutical companies is something like 2%-3% and in order to offset that, they sell non-core assets and put that money back in their pipeline. This company’s pipeline has Prevnar which they are going to use in adults, as well as a breast cancer drug. These 2 drugs combined he feels are somewhere in the $2 billion range over the next couple of years. Feels the stock is worth $35-$36 on an analysis basis. Yield of 3.25%.
