TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly GLW is the maker of Gorilla Glass, vaccine vials, and glass products used in LED display and fiber optics. It operates in 15 countries. Recent earnings seem to demonstrate the continued ability to pass along rising costs to its customers, making it a good inflation hedge. And with next years earnings expected to be stronger, it supports a 13x earnings valuation, compared to peers at 28x. The dividend has been growing for 13 consecutive years and is expected to be a payout ratio of <45%, based on next year's earning outlook. The company has been using some cash reserves to buy back stock and retire debt, but there is plenty still left in the tank. We recommend a stop loss at $27, looking to achieve $46 -- upside potential over 30%. Yield 3.0% (Analysts’ price target is $46.10)

COMMENT
Healthcare amid volatility. Challenging environment, to say the least. Macro uncertainty, inflation running hot, interest rate uncertainty. Relatively, healthcare is holding up quite well given the volatility we're seeing. But not all healthcare. Some areas, like smaller cap and higher growth, are more impacted.
COMMENT
Grey tsunami fueling bullish outlook? Absolutely. Healthcare is one of the very few areas of the market that's well positioned for the aging population dynamic. As people age, they spend exponentially more on their healthcare needs. There are non-cyclical drivers as well, like developing markets and technological innovation in medical devices, pharma, bio, and bio tech. The macro environment is very strong. Visibility across many sub-sectors is challenged with rising interest rates. Healthcare is known as a superior good, and so it has pricing power. We need it in up and down markets. Healthcare is where investors should be. Canada has few offerings. You should be looking for at least a market weight toward the sector, which is 13-15% globally.
COMMENT
Criteria for healthcare stocks. Dominant companies, proven ability to execute over economic cycles. Large cap with diversified product lineups. As you're reviewing and rebalancing your portfolio, you really want to be in quality companies. Robust financial metrics, reliability of earnings across economic cycles.
DON'T BUY
Too small for him, challenging environment. Management seems solid. Invests in biotech and pharma companies in exchange for a royalty. Drugs are coming off patent, so revenues will decline. Check out the payout ratio. He tracks RPRX in the US, which is 100x bigger with 25B market cap.
WATCH
Invests in biotech and pharma companies in exchange for a royalty. He tracks this one, with its 25B market cap.
DON'T BUY
Once they spun out their biosimilar business, he sold. Saw lots of debt, drugs coming off patent and pricing pressure, not a lot of growth. Value trap, even at these levels.
WEAK BUY
NVO vs. LLY Focused on weight loss and diabetes. One issue is the liquidity, as it doesn't work well for his covered call strategy. Still fairly expensive. LLY had great weight reduction results recently. LLY is at a discounted valuation, a more diversified business, and exposure to Alzheimer's. He prefers LLY, but you'd be OK on both.
