They have lots of cash but they have to find new drugs by research or buy buying. Sanofi has lost competitions to buy drugs because they won\u2019t pay too much for them. The stock has been behaving better lately as some of the acquisitions have been doing well. He thinks this is a good time to buy.

And the stock price is trading at deep discount to its fair value. However he recommends this Company for patient investors only.<\/p>\n<div class=\"perfect-pullquote vcard pullquote-align-full pullquote-border-placement-left\"><blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/tables\/opinions\/view\/186681\"><p>This is the personal insurance business that was spun out of MetLife. Usually when companies are spun out, they go down for a while. However, there have been additional issues for this company. Interest rates have not gone up as expected. And the industry has been tarred with the brush of long-term care insurance costs and Veterans\u2019 Affairs stuff. Brighthouse is not in the long-term care business but its price has been affected by the general concern and by the guarantees associated with Veterans\u2019 issues. Brighthouse now trades at a significant discount to book value, about 0.4x, down from an earlier level of 0.7x. He considers this discount extreme. Brighthouse doesn\u2019t pay a dividend or buy back shares, and won\u2019t do so until 2020, so it is for patient investors.
