He's bullish pharmas if the economy weakens. He likes it for growing organically, not buying companies, and in developing its drugs in-house or with partners. Their drug pipeline overcomes worries of their existing drugs coming off patent. Their key drug, Eylea, topped $1.04 billion in Q1 and $5.89 billion in full-year US net sales. But Roche has released a rival drug, while Eylea will come off patent in a couple years as they successfully protect their patent in court. Also, REGN just developed a new version of Eylea. Dupixent is their second-biggest drug and is performing well as well. Despite its growth, REGN trades at only 22x forward PE, and announced a $3 billion share buyback.
He likes biotech as a space, and it has recently re-accelerated. This company has a number of key drugs. Their major drug is Eylea for macular degeneration, a multi-, multi-billion-dollar drug. However, they have a newer drug, which is aimed at the allergy market, which could potentially be a $10 billion drug. This company will double its earnings in the next 3 years and is not dependent on one product. (Analysts’ price target is $438.)
