DON'T BUY

It often pops with a new drug but he doesn't like the sector. Pharma companies have not been good to invest in over the past year. He prefers companies with a medical devices component.

BUY

Recently bought on technicals. Pretty decent dividend. Sees growth coming back.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 18/24, Up 9%)

Was a laggard in the space, which you don't want to chase in and of itself. Often you want to buy strength, best in breed. If you look at the dip in the chart right after he bought, it shows you the danger of going down the food chain in a sector that's doing quite well.

He's holding on and would buy today.

biotechnology / pharmaceutical
BUY

Pays a yield of 4.55% higher than a 10-year treasury note, earnings growth is outsized and is cheaper than the S&P aggregate (under 21x 2025 PE) at 7.6x. They're paying a big charge this year and so are taking a big earnings hit. They projects over 800% earnings growth in 2025. They can deliver on their long-term turnaround plan, but it will take time. But their cancer franchise fell behind Merck's, and $74 billion buy of Celgene wasn't worth it. Also, they face patent cliffs on some of their big drugs. But the new CEO has bought 3 companies, including 2 biotechs focused on cancer drugs. Shares are up 27% this year. They received approval for their key schizophrenia drug, among other approvals. They have enough quality drugs in the pipeline.

BUY
Their Cobenfy drug got FDA approval

BMY paid nearly $13 billion to buy the company that was developing Cobenfy. This could could help BMY get the patent cliffs of their other drugs in a few years.

WATCH

Credit them for being a company which led to the schizophrenia drug, which the FDA just approved. BMY has been unloved, selling before 8x PE at a 4% dividend. Puzzling, but shares will certainly rise. He sold it last year and may re-enter it.

biotechnology / pharmaceutical
BUY

Pays over a 5% dividend. Was the top pharma, but slipped. Their purchase of Celgene disappointed while revenue growth has been negative. Earnings shrunk last year. But he likes the new CEO and him buying 3 companies in onocology and neuroscience, both growth areas. Also, there have been cost cuts. Be patient though. They reported a clean top and bottom line beat last week and issued very strong guidance. Trades at a cheap 7x 2025 PE.

biotechnology / pharmaceutical
BUY

It just raised its forecast, released better numbers than expected and revealed a slew of new, promising drugs. Shares have jumped. The new CEO knocked out of the park the latest numbers, instead of missing numbers as so often before.

biotechnology / pharmaceutical
WEAK BUY

They just reported a Q2 beat. It hasn't performed well, but is finally rebounding a little. Their product pipeline will be good for the next few years.

biotechnology / pharmaceutical
DON'T BUY

His whole mantra is to buy good companies that are getting better. He wants to have a strong fundamental view, and he wants the market to show that it's agreeing with him -- he doesn't want to be alone in the woods in a good market, not participating.

Problem is a fair bit of debt, low growth. In a market like this, you only need 20 companies to get a broadly diversified portfolio. Don't need to take on the risk of this one. Avoid.

biotechnology / pharmaceutical
DON'T BUY

It will need a lot of time to turn around. It hit bottom when it touched a 5.75% dividend yield. You won't see good news here until 2029 or 2030.

biotechnology / pharmaceutical
SELL

Dow 7% in May. Lots of struggle in the healthcare space. Will sell.

A good AI play in pharma?

The market lacks patience for them to get into AI, though he disagrees and the dividend is good.

biotechnology / pharmaceutical
WEAK BUY

A lot of their big drugs are coming off patent, and they will need 5 years to turn around. Meanwhile, collect the 5% dividend as you wait. Be patient. He prefers Eli Lilly.
