DON'T BUY
The entire drug sector hasn't been investable since the 1990s, because governments control drug prices and patent expiries. Pfizer is struggling to replace drugs coming off patent, like their cholesterol drug. It's really tough. It's a defensive sector, so the drug companies will hold up better and offer dividend growth.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 28/20, Up 45%) A defensive. Back then, they were working on the vaccine and luckily theirs was the most effective. He trimmed at $55, but still likes and holds it. The company has in the past struggled to build a pipeline of drugs. This morning they announced they will buy a company that treats migraines. They're spending $11 billion on their pipeline, which is promising. They earned $25 billion revenues in vaccines in 2021. Pays a great dividend. Remains a core holding.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly PFE has a long pipeline of new drugs focusing on oncology, rare diseases and vaccines, generating over $50 billion in annual sales. It trades at 13x earnings compared to peers at 20x. Latest reported earnings beat expectations by 27% and supports a ROE over 34%. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 40% of cashflow. It is managing its cash reserves conservatively, maintaining a good war chest, while still retiring debt. We would recommend a stop loss at $42.00, looking to achieve $60.50 -- upside potential of 19%. Yield 3.0% (Analysts’ price target is $60.47)

DON'T BUY
Has done extremely well with Covid solutions. Not inexpensive for its growth rate. A concern for the stock, though not for humanity, is this opportunity will exhaust itself. Not a bad name if Covid will be a chronic situation. All pharma races the patent clock. He'd prefer MRK.

HOLD
Value and price momentum score well. High ROE, 13x price to earnings. Healthy yield of 3%, very reasonable payout ratio. You can own it through the cycles.

(A Top Pick Sep 24/20, Up 28.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with PFE has triggered its stop at $46. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment gain of 23%, when combined with the previous recommendation to cover half.

HOLD
Suffered recently a bit, as shine from Covid has worn off. Great defensive growth name. Likes healthcare in general. Don't sell it to buy LLY, but nothing against LLY. Trades at 6x forward earnings. Great cardio drug that could be a gamechanger, strong pipeline. Yield is 3.5%.

HOLD
Has recently sold shares in company.
Long term, pandemics will remain a fact of life.
Has good pipeline of new drugs being developed.

TOP PICK
R&D has become much more concentrated. Cashflow windfall being used to expand pipeline. CEO has done exceptional job navigating the vaccine environment. Tuck-in acquisitions. Executing well, deserves the multiple bump. Yield is 3%. (Analysts’ price target is $58.53)
