Gilead Sciences Inc. has recently captured the attention of market analysts due to its performance, as it has hit 52-week highs following a strong earnings report that beat both top and bottom line expectations. After spending nearly a decade in consolidation, the stock appears to be breaking out, though uncertainties remain about whether this momentum will sustain. While there is an acknowledgment of its past success, particularly with its Hepatitis C and HIV drugs, concerns have been raised about the valuation of the company relative to its stock price. The stock's recent rebound is viewed with caution, with analysts suggesting that the business's underlying worth may not align with the current market valuation, despite the company offering a decent dividend.

Cautious
Valuation
Overvalued
WATCH

Hitting 52-week highs. Caught his attention because last week they beat top and bottom lines. After consolidating 9 years, it's starting to break out. Doesn't know this well enough to see if this breakout will hold, but worth watching.

PARTIAL SELL

The business isn't worth as much as the stock is selling, even though shares have recently bounced back.

DON'T BUY

High flyer because of Hep C, so successful it isn't needed on an ongoing basis. Its HIV drug was equally successful. Ironically, success impacted growth of those drugs negatively. Decent dividend. 

BUY

Healthcare is down 2% year. He likes the devices in HC, with Stryker his top pick. Surgeries are coming back, and the company has a new suite of products coming.

BUY
Was upgraded today

It's a biopharma which as a group did very well last year. Compare that to the smaller biotechs which have not done well the past 3 years. This year, biopharma and staples have underperformed. This boasts a high free cash flow yield and has a great product cycle coming. 

HOLD

Chart pattern indicating weakness in the company.
Risk lower than the past year.
$60 share price a good time to buy. 

WATCH

In past years, biotech was the safe trade, but this year risk is back, so these stocks have fallen out of favour. Also, there are so many drugs in trials now and big pharma needs new product. She's looking at Gilead and Moderna, because they have low PEs and alot of drugs in development. However, the overall sector is risky. 

BUY

Has long owned this, because it's a value stock and keeps raising its dividend.

WAIT

It is a biotech company well known for a cure for Hepatitis C which is off patent now. It made several acquisitions and has built out an HIV franchise. He needs to see execution on the oncology platform and elsewhere.

DON'T BUY

No new drugs or trials. Doing nothing interesting. Prefers Eli Lilly.

BUY
It was upgraded today. What an earnings report, and they increased full-year guidance. Their HIV franchise continues to drive the top and bottom lines. Long-term, they continue to expand in oncolocy treatments--their pipeline looks fine.
BUY
Likes healthcare. This pays a 4.5% dividend yield, because of the strength of their drugs. Likes their huge pipeline of drugs, spanning cell therapy, oncology and HIV. They just beat top and bottom lines and raised their 2022 guidance.

SELL
He sold 2 years ago. "Patience required" is a polite way of saying "sell". He got tired of the same promises. Yes it's cheap, but not executing on R&D. Report on its 20B acquisition has been delayed.
