They're in the MS business, so will they expand beyond MS? HE's confident they will and have some hit drugs.

PARTIAL SELL

A high-quality biopharma with a strong cystic fibrosis drug. Are trying to get into other franchises like diabetes treatments. Will do well long-run. Trades at 23x with 11% earnings growth, so you can take some profits now. Had a good run, so take some money off the table.

TOP PICK
It is in the biotech sector which came under pressure18 months ago. The sector found a footing in June and has held well above lows while the market is selling off. In general there are great bio technologies coming to market. Specifically it is a leading producer of a Cystic Fibrosis treatment that continues to proliferate around global health care systems. It is head and shoulders over what was available previously. It is a defensive stock because earnings are not cyclical and it is growing at 25% per year as well as trading at 18X next year's earnings. With a 74 billion market cap it just made a 5 year high which is very significant. (Analysts’ price target is $310.80)

Bought this, adding to his healthcare holdings, a defensive sector he likes. Strong balance sheet with a deep pipeline of drugs, 20x 2023 earnings, 50% operating margins, and 5% free cash flow yield.
TOP PICK
Biotech. Dominant drug for CF treatment. Exceedingly strong growth profile, with 2022 estimate for 40% earnings growth. Working on a compound for acute pain that's not addictive. Technically way outperformed the biotech group. Now there's strength in the group and the market. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $307.75)
