Stock price when the opinion was issued
Once upon a time, he really liked it. Beaten up for inability to bring forward a weight-loss drug; that may or may not be a realistic critique of this stock long term. Analyst community is really...just...waiting. He sold last year, not ready to come back in. Solid company, an improved oncology pipeline might be a reason to get back in.
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. If you're a longer-term investor, well worth sitting on it and getting rewarded while you wait for an upside pop from the drugs coming through as hoped.
He's looking at it closely.
Holds it in the dividend income fund. Has a safe dividend of 6 to 6 1/2% with cash flow. Has a large pipeline of new drugs but it is difficult to predict how many or which ones will take.
