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)

DON'T BUY
Astrazeneca P L C
It's gotten more expensive compared to other drug companies. He won't chase it at these high levels.

They produced an early Covid vaccine, but got lost among other vaccines that were more effective. There are better fish to fry. They report Friday.

TOP PICK
Astrazeneca P L C
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly AZN is the COVID-19 vaccine producer that has been granted emergency use authorization in over 50 countries. It also has one of the best pipelines for new biotech drugs. They just acquired a strategic company that will further "boost" their immunology presence. The company pays a good dividend that is projected to have a payout ratio under 75% of cash flow next year. The company is estimated to have added over $2.3 billion to its cash reserves, which are now over $7.5 billion. We would buy this with a stop loss at $42, looking to achieve $64 -- upside potential of 28%. Yield 2.83% (Analysts’ price target is $63.73)

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Astrazeneca P L C

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks The AZN stock currently trades at a 64x PE and pays a not-bad 2.69% dividend yield. It's trending $7 below its $59.73 price target, and has declined slightly to June levels. However, its PE has tumbled to levels last seen in December 2019. Three analysts rate it a strong buy, one a buy and another a hold, unchanged since August.

COMMENT
Astrazeneca P L C

Their Covid vaccine in progress For most of the large-cap pharmas he owns, the benefits of producing this vaccine won't benefit these companies as much as people think. That said, AZN has been executing very well in areas like oncology--a key driver for them. In May, AZN's vaccine was his front runner in this race. AZN (with Oxford University) did have a negative reaction during their recent phase 3 test, though, so there is a risk here. However AZN has resumed tests outside the U.S., so expect results a little later. So now Pfizer has become the front runner. He's looking for the safety profile of AZN's candidate. If their vaccine is a miss, there will be stock volatility, but also a buying opportunity. A great company.

TOP PICK
Astrazeneca P L C
Paul McDonald also recommends GSK's peer, AstraZeneca (also trading in New York and London). The pharma is focusing on its pipeline of drugs that can't be easily replicated. A third of its sales comes from the U.S., plus 20% from China, which may actually be a tailwind in this context. The New York stock (AZN-N) pays a 2.87% dividend and the London one pays 2.95%
