BUY
A tough BUY, but given the valuation, if you have a 3/5 year time horizon the positives outweigh the negatives.
WEAK BUY
Big pharmas have suffered because generics have come out of nowhere and have moved up to 50% of their business. The shine is coming off these companies and their credibility. Now trading at 12 X earnings and have a ton of cash, so could be buying back shares and improve its dividend. Good yield, but limited growth.
DON'T BUY
Could never understand the love for this stock as it was falling. It may have been oversold enough that it goes back up to $30 in the next 2 months. Long term, not very exciting.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 26/04. Down 11%.) About a 50% differential between their model price and its present price. In their top 10. Has great value.
DON'T BUY
If you look at what has happened to the pharnaceuticals over the last 2 years, generally the big ethical drug companies have been very poor performers. Growth rates have dropped to low single digits. Prefers bio-tech or bio-pharmaceuticals that have growth.
BUY
Has been hurt by the Cox-2 inhibitor problem which is in their Celbrex and Bextra. Pharmaceutical stocks in general have all been poor performers and valuations have become more reasonable, so is probably OK to start looking at them. Prefers Bristol Myers as you get a nice size dividend as they wait for a pick up.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 26/04. Down 8%.) Model price is $39. Totally mispriced. Should be a portion of everybody's portfolio. Looking out a year, you should make good money off it.
HOLD
There was a negative call on one of their drugs which affected the stock price dramatically. This will mean a lot more testing and a lot more money. Have other products in their stable they can go with.
BUY
When a stock gets hit with very negative news, there tends to be an overreaction, so it's best to put in a very lowball bid. If you get it there, fine, if not, you'll probably get a second chance.
WAIT
Wait and see how things shake out. Only one day on the news and there's lots of interpretations on what it means.
DON'T BUY
Biggest problem with the drugs has to do with the litigation problems in the US. George Bush has asked Congress to drastically reduce the awards. If successful, it will be a huge win for drug companies.
TOP PICK
Quality at a discount. There will be a lot of opportunity for upward surprises and multiple expansion. Trades at 11.7 X next year's earnings which is a 22% discount to its peer group. Have a wide and deep pipeline.
DON'T BUY
Companies like Pfizer and Merck have been coming apart for quite awhile. Growth rate has gone from 30% to low single digits. When this happens, the P/E has to contract. There are more sellers than buyers. One of the few that is doing better is Schering AG. Growth rate is accelerating and have a good line up of drugs.
DON'T BUY
Everyone is scared to death of the pharmaceuticals because of litigation risks. Have got terrific drugs, but there's going to be blood ankle deep on the floor because of Vioxx.
TOP PICK
Of all the drug companies put together, this company has the strongest pipe line. This is a mispriced asset. When you lok at the earnings, the balance sheet and where interest rates are, it's worth $50.
