DON'T BUY
Growth rate went from 30% three years ago to almost low single digits or flat. Not performing well. The group is in the early stages of a turn around, but would be more inclined to buy the company that has flourished through this period. Would prefer Abbott Labs (ABT-N).
DON'T BUY
The whole area has been beaten up and is very interesting. The big pharmas have a big challenge as the pipelines are a little bit bare. Would rather own companies that are suppliers to the pharmas, such as IMS Health (RX-N). (He doesn't follow big caps.)
BUY
RE:Call options Jan/07. Not particularily expensive as it has not been a volatile stock. Not a bad way to play the stock if you are bullish on the company. The company has a very good dividend, so call option are less than the put options quite often. (His play on this is through the Vipers (VHT-A).)
BUY
Got in on the Celebrex recall. This company has developed some fantastic drugs. Pharmaceutical stocks in the US have been absolutely decimated. Dirt cheap. 3.5% didvidend yield while you wait for a recovery. Generates a ton of free cash flow. Merck & Company (MRK-N) are in the same way.
DON'T BUY
This company, along with the other drug stocks, has had a very big problem. Fell below its 200 day moving average. There is no base.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan24/05. Up 8%.) Still likes.
WEAK BUY
Pharmaceuticals have pretty good cash flows, but their stocks are going nowhere. Cheap on a relative basis to where they've been. Have one big overhang as a group, i.e., there are a lot of patent expiries that are going to happen in 2006. May not be a bad time to start picking them up.
BUY
A good long term hold. Historically cheap.
TOP PICK
Likes the pharmaceutical industry. The market is not thinking about the tremendous amount of cash they throw off and that they are cheap. Made the right move by not taking Celebrex off the market. Good pipeline.
BUY
In their top 10. Great valuation.
BUY
FDA has given the OK on the controversial drugs. Pfizer is a very strong company and has the best pipeline of all the large drug companies. Continues to generate billions of $'s of free cash flow. YOu won't get rich, but you'll make some money.
DON'T BUY
Over a 3/5 year period, it's probably OK, but it's trending down and there's no reason to get in the way of that until it changes direction. There is pricing pressure in the drug industry, product liability questions, cross border shopping , etc.
BUY
Likes this one a lot. Trading at 11 X earnings and a 3% dividend yield and waiting to see if Cellebrex gets FDA OK. Downside is pretty limited.
BUY
Big headline risk and he loves stock with headline risks. Trading at a 50% discount to what it's really worth.
DON'T BUY
There is no technical sign that the ugliness has changed yet. No real strong support for the stock here. However, long term pharma sector is an interesting play.
