BUY
Recently checked back. Well managed and in good financial shape.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Good entry point at the support level of around $46. If it corrects and holds at $46, that is pretty powerful. Crummy relative strength, which is a pretty good sign. Do a partial Buy at $46 and another at around $43 and a final one at $41.
TOP PICK
Diversified healthcare in the US. Have a branded pharmaceutical business providing drugs for arthritis, cholesterol and prostate cancer. Also had a nutritional business providing babies formula and adults’ nutrition. Also have stents, which is doing quite well globally. Trading at about 10.5X forward earnings. About 3.6% yield and have increased dividends on a regular basis.
DON'T BUY
The model price is $48.13, a 2% upside only. Fully priced.
BUY
Have a little less than 50% of their business in pharmaceuticals. Their big drug is Humera for rheumatoid arthritis and doesn't come off patent until 2016. Also have about 20%-25% revenues from their nutritional business.
TOP PICK
Pharma company. Nutritional division. Adult’s nutrition. Likes the diversification. Consistently increases dividend, about 3-1/2% at present. Recently beat numbers. Pulled earning back by 7%, but it is manageable.
BUY
Great company with a great pipeline. Humira, a rheumatoid arthritis drug, is their major product is on patent until 2016. Have never had a down year in stock price since 1992.
COMMENT
Not hot on pharmaceuticals because of generic manufacturing and litigation risks. This one is a pretty good choice in pharmaceuticals with a pretty good product line up going forward. A lower risk way to play pharmaceuticals is through Johnson & Johnson (JNJ-N) that has both pharmaceuticals and branded consumer products.
TOP PICK
Trading at about 13X earnings. Expects revenues to grow at 8%-10% and earnings to grow 12%-14%. 2.9% dividend. 7.5% free cash flow.
BUY
Medical company, pharma and diagnostics. Good solid holding. Pays a good dividend. Good core holding for a portfolio.
TOP PICK
Diagnostic equipment stents and some new blockbuster drugs. Drug industry and healthcare services might come under some pressure with the new administration, which is the risk they may face.
BUY
In the healthcare area this is an attractive name. Have medical devices, nutrition products and pharmaceuticals. Had troubles a few years ago but has gotten its act together.
DON'T BUY
Pharmaceuticals is a group that has underperformed for about 3 years. This one, in relation to the rest of the group, has peformed better althoough all of them are retracing over the last couple of months. Prefers the bioceutical companies.
TOP PICK
Has paid a dividend for 80 years. Trades at a discount to the market multiple but has new drug pipeline coming on. As simple, safe story.
BUY
Attractive. Continuing turnaround in their diagnostic business as well as a better pipeline than some of the other chief pharmaceuticals.
