COMMENT

Both companies are leaders in the diabetes market which is one of the fastest growing areas. Although Eli Lilly is more well rounded he has owned Novo for many years. They are both in a good spot in developing drugs for Obesity - the question is will the insurance companies cover these drugs since Obesity is not a disease.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Benefitting from weight-loss drug, which will drive the stock for a long time. A massive market. It's gone up a lot, so you'll probably see a pullback. Insurance companies should love the health benefits and eventually cover the cost.

BUY

Are in the news with a new drug. He's owned this for nearly 20 years. They continue to grow free cash flow. Are adept at producing insulin, which is seeing growing demand due to global obesity. They have invested heavily in R&D, which yielded this new weight-loss drug which is doing well.

BUY

Good entry point, as it's pulled back from its high. Obesity causes Type 2 diabetes, the fastest-growing disease in NA. Globally, it's also becoming a problem. There's competition, but the potential is massive. Owning here makes sense.

WEAK BUY

Traditionally, insulin. Now into weight loss, big home run, stock has charged ahead. Up 40%. Only one approved by the FDA, the leader. Stock won't go down as long as sales keep up. Market is massive. See his Top Picks.

BUY

Has owned this for 20 years. They specialize in diabetes meds. They now have developed a weight-loss drug; shares have surged a lot in the past year given huge demand. NOVO can invest their cash flow into more R&D of drugs.

BUY

Top supplier of insulin. A very good company. Their diabetes drug has sold out so shares have plateaued. That said, he prefers Eli Lilly.

COMMENT
The stock is up so much, but they produce the right medical products.
BUY

Does not own any stock in company, Has had impressive sales record with organic growth. Pressure on diabetes pricing in the USA. Expecting new products coming onto market to benefit the company. Large portion if US(40%) living with obesity. Expensive at current share price.

BUY
Likes company and has owned shares for a long time. #1 company in European diabetic market. Share prices are a little over priced. Will continue holding shares for the long term.
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.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 10/21, Up 46%) Believes company is leading insulin producer for diabetics. Revenues outside USA are increasing. Above average financial results from previous quarter was rewarded by market. Rising diabetes levels in society will be good for company. Company has very little debt and is looking at other products.
COMMENT
He was negative on this 5 years ago but now likes it and owns some for the long term. Insulin prices have normalized and it has a good weight loss drug. When asked to compare to Lilly he prefers NVO although Lilly is good too. The only concern is that this is a defensive growth stock and some might sell to buy cyclicals.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 10/21, Up 49%) Leading company for making insulin. The FDA approved their 2.5mg dose of weight-loss drug, which helped share prices. They are first to market with it. The expectations for earnings were moved higher. Getting more international sales in the long term. Stock is starting to get noticed by fund managers internationally.
BUY
A Danish drug company that makes insulin. He likes the pharma stocks, though have been underperforming. He owns many pharmas, but you can't own all of them.
