WEAK BUY
Coming out of the recession pharmaceuticals have not recovered to 2007 levels. Market worries about Obamacare and generics impact on branded drugs. Also worried about FDA approval process.. Also subject to litigation. Tremendous amount of cash and trading at very low multiples. Looking at this.
COMMENT
Have had a lot of issues and the CEO has left. Has been an abysmal investment over the last 5-10 years. Decent dividend. What do they do when Lipitor goes off patent mid 2011? Their acquisition of Wyeth gives them a decent stream of products. Trading at 8X earnings. Everybody hates it so maybe it’s worth looking at.
HOLD
Looked at it a couple of times. Lots of cash, good name, but he has never been able to pull the trigger. He thinks you need to let it go up a bit and increase volume, but if you own it, you get paid to wait.
DON'T BUY
Concerned with risk from generic competition to the big pharmas. Prefers Teva (TEVA-Q). The big pharmas will continue to struggle because of this.
DON'T BUY
Lost its ability to grow because of its size. Lipitor represents 20% and it goes off patent next year so they’ll be competing with generics.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Nov 16/09, Down 5%) Drug stocks have been out of favour. Drug stocks bottomed earlier this year. Have a number of drugs coming off patent. Dividend investors have identified drug companies as targets.
BUY
(Top Pick Nov 30/09, Down 4.77%) $28.23 model price. 64% upside. He keeps on buying it. Held for 4 years in his fund. There is value there and major consolidation going on there. It’s a changing landscape – they are getting together with generics.
DON'T BUY
The whole pharma business is somewhat challenged. They spend lots developing a drug and then a few years later it goes Generic. One drug is a quarter of their business but it goes Generic in 2011. There are better places to go. This is more of a defensive stock. Would prefer a hybrid that just has pharma as a part of the their business.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 8/09. Up 5.36%.) Still likes.
HOLD
Has been a long-term sufferer. Product outlook is much better since the merger. They have started to increase their dividend again. This is a dividend stock with some upside potential.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute) Doesn’t buy US stocks.
DON'T BUY
Pharma model, i.e. spending a boatload of money developing drugs and getting it into market, is really stumbling. Then the clock starts ticking with generics coming in down the road. Lipitor expires next year.
DON'T BUY
Their big drug Lipitor comes off patent next year, which will be a lot of revenue that will be difficult to replace. Have an “OK” pipeline. Because of their size, it takes a huge blockbuster drug to turn the needle to a positive direction.
HOLD
$2 in annualized earnings. Very cheap stock. Doesn't have the growth that it used to. Have global growth and is a beneficiary of the decline in the US$.
BUY
Like it for its dividend of about 4.1%. Very high cash flow. Have diversified their product line with the acquisition of Wyeth.
