Astrazeneca P L C

Very strong R&D pipeline, with new products expected. Off recent share price highs, which is a good time to buy. Margins very strong on new products. Expecting earnings to rise in the immediate future. Low double digit EPS @ 16x earnings a very strong value proposition. Will continue to hold for the long term.

Astrazeneca P L C

Is overlooked in pharma. It boasts an amazing oncology business, including recent positive trial data on phase 2 and 3 lung cancer drugs, which could be breakthroughs. Shares have doubled in the last 5 years and has been climbing since 2016. Last April they delivered a blowout quarter with an earnings beat and a bullish forecast including a 8.5% compound annual growth rate based on doubling multi-billion drugs to 25 by 2030. Also, they are developing obesity drugs.

Astrazeneca P L C

Less popular name within the healthcare sector. Very strong R & D pipeline - new products are expected soon. Trading at ~14x earnings which is very under valued. Excellent time to purchase shares for the long term shareholder.

They focus on cancer drugs and making massive inroads. AZN just bought Alexion, which seeks drugs for rare diseases, so the target markets are there. AZN sells at 15x PE with earnings to grow 5-10%. Dividend pays 3.5%. 

(Analysts’ price target is $83.88)

DON'T BUY
Astrazeneca P L C
A great pharma with a good stable of products, but he is avoiding all pharma because the new US law will allow Medicare to negotiate prices of drugs, giving them buying power. It's very uncertain how this will effect pharma for 3-6 months at least.

BUY
Astrazeneca P L C
Trades around 19x earnings, 2.2% dividend yield. Should have strong revenue and earnings growth due to oncology portfolio. Pipeline is quite good. Should see fruits of refocused portfolio in the next little while. He owns JNJ and NVO.

TOP PICK
Astrazeneca P L C
Health care is back in favour, is defensive, and has growth characteristics. AZN has a great pipeline including some drugs that are difficult to make. It trades at an attractive valuation, has a solid balance sheet, good dividend and is liquid. Buy 3, Hold 3, Sell 0. (Analysts’ price target is $72.40)
