Good entry point. Main drug Humira is $20B per year, and yes, its patent will expire in 2021. But they've been reinvesting that cash cow in other drugs. Paying 9x earnings, so it's cheap. Could consolidate around $100. Great dividend, balance sheet. Own it in a basket.

DON'T BUY
A fine company. Its major product is Humira, the biggest drug in the world in terms of sales and it amounts to 65% of ABBV's revenue. ABBV's dividend is sound, but ABBV will have to go through a transition, like merge with another comapny and develop other drugs, to take the pressure off Humira.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 12/18, Down 7%) The only big pharma name that has a single digit P/E. Nice dividend yield over 5%. It is under pressure now because their arthritis drug is facing competition from generics and it is 60% of their revenues. The dividend yield acts as a support now. He is holding and monitoring M&A activity.
HOLD
They have Humera which makes up 62% of their revenue. This is not up-coming in the business but it represents some patent risk as it comes off patent in 4 years in the US. There will be competition around the world before then but not significant. They have to back stop this with other offerings. It could be through a purchase of a pipeline or something else. As time goes on you are going to get less and less benefit from this drug as an investment.
HOLD
It has been a tough pharma name. It is the only single digit P/E on the large pharma space. There is execution risk. Probably the dividend yield is safe. He would put a stop loss at the beneath the $78 level.
DON'T BUY
The valuation is low and dividend is high. It cold be a trap. They focus in Humara. There is pressure from competition. He wouldn't be buying here as it carries more risk than it looks like.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 23/18, Down 16%) He thinks this is a really good sector. The seasonality doesn't come in for a while yet. There is a double bottom, which is positive. There are few sectors that look like they are in a secular bull market like this one.
BUY
Just reported earnings last week, beating the street by 6%. It's been sideways, but pays a 4.9% dividend that should grow. Trades at 10x forward earnings at a 11% growth rate. But the market isn't recognizing this now. It's a good healthcare name, and healthcare has been outperforming the S&P in the current late cycle. ABBV has beaten earnings many quarters in a row.
HOLD

Likes it, even though flat this year. Pays a nice dividend of 4.1%, which is expected to grow. Likes the healthcare space. Hold on to it and collect the dividend.

WATCH

This is a fine company. Its primary product is Humira, the most successful drug in the history of the pharmaceutical industry. It represents about 60% of AbbVie’s earnings, which means that AbbVie’s portfolio is not well diversified. This is not unusual for pharma companies. The drug will not go off patent for a few years, but the clock is ticking. The question to ask is whether the company has good replacements in the works.

BUY

Is the yield sustainable? They are one of the largest biotech companies out there. They have one primary drug called Humera. It is an $18 billion dollar drug. They made a number of acquisitions. He sees the dividend as sustainable. Good valuation.

BUY

Nice little pharmaceutical name. 23% EPS growth. Trading at a reasonable 12 multiple. At these levels is OK to accumulate.

DON'T BUY

A bad acquisition two years ago hit them badly after that new company suffered a negative drug trial. Then, the stock dropped and he sold. There's probably still value in this stock, but he'd rather buy something else.

TOP PICK

A spin-off from Abbott Laboratories (ABT-N). Strong exposure to immunology and oncology medicines. Dividend Yield of 4.2%. The stock sold off because they had a setback on a cancer drugs, but it is overdone in his opinion. Great way to own a strong growing pharma company. (Analysts’ price target is $120.27)

TOP PICK

He holds this in a pure technical system portfolio. It was down 13% yesterday and they decided to step in. A lung cancer drug recently announced disappointing results. They see health care in a secular bull market. A hot pick today.
