Worth taking a good, hard look at. Phenomenal yield, and he likes yield. Chart is starting to form a bit of a bottom. Low PE. Has things in the pipeline that the market's not paying for.

Underperformer in the sector. Not in a growth area, which is weight loss right now. So he'd probably look at LLY and NVO. Those pipelines are probably going to be fairly robust.
