Stockchase Opinions

John Stephenson Shire PLC SHPG-Q TOP PICK Apr 18, 2017

A pharmaceutical/biotech company. It has an extremely attractive valuation, dirt cheap, trading at under 11X forward earnings. This has a really good stable of rare disease drugs that are very much untouched in the marketplace. The pharmaceutical sector has been absolutely beaten up and is becoming absolutely compelling. Dividend yield of 0.53%. (Analysts’ price target is £6100.)
