BUY ON WEAKNESS
(Market Call Minute) If it came down a little bit be would be much more interested.
DON'T BUY
Great company with a great yield and trading at a very low multiple. Pharmaceutical industry made so much money on their blockbuster drugs but that dried up. This company has made some good acquisitions and are continuing to cut costs. Pipeline is reasonable but you're not going to see the big blockbuster drugs in the next several years.
DON'T BUY
Wouldn't own any US pharmaceutical companies. Research pipeline cupboard is really bare. Doesn't see any growth. A lot of generic competition.
DON'T BUY
Pfizer (PFE-N) and Merck (MRK-N) are pretty fully priced at current levels. Growth prospects are not that great, especially with a lot of drugs coming off patent. Multiple looks attractive and dividend looks okay but there are better places to go in pharmaceuticals. Prefers Abbott Labs (ABT-N).
SELL
One of the mega pharmas that is having trouble getting traction because it is so large. They have a problem with one of their large drugs (25% of business) coming off patent within the next year. He would look elsewhere. J&J, Abbot, are better picks.
TOP PICK
Model price of $29.40, a 53% positive differential.
HOLD
Just reported lower-than-expected earnings. Chart shows a strong upward trend so technically it still looks good. Usually healthcare stocks do very well from July to October.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 27/09. Up 25.12%.) Likes the outlook for drug stocks. Still a Buy.
BUY
Have their challenges with patent expiries but a huge global player with very good exposure to emerging markets. Reasonable dividend. 3.7% yield.
DON'T BUY
Loss of their Lipitor patent in 2011 (25% of revenues) is priced into the stock but this is a problem with all Pharma plays. Patent expirations is hugely punitive. (See Top Picks.)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 27/09. Up 17.5%.) The world hated pharmaceutical stocks but started to like them more. All the major pharmas have patents coming off in the next 5 years. This is already built into the price. Companies have all built up big cash reserves.
BUY
Biovail is the only Canadian equivalent. He likes the industry. Concern as patents expire. Market has valued this concern into the price. Continue to generate cash flow. Prefers Merck.
TOP PICK
US healthcare stocks were ignored until recently. Recently completed its acquisition of Wyeth, which gives them a new product pipeline. 3.7% yield.
DON'T BUY
The issue here is Lipitor patents coming off in 2010 and they have to fill the product pipeline with something that is going to be a blockbuster. Question that they can use their cash horde effectively to fill the R&D pipeline, get new products to market and get their profits up. (See Top Picks.)
BUY
About the 50-day and 200-day moving averages and is continuing to climb. 3.7% dividend and they are due for an increase.
