John Buckingham, editor of The Prudent Speculator, focuses on a widely-diversified portfolio of value-oriented stocks; here, he reviews two leading pharmaceutical firms with promising drug development operations.
Biogen (BIIB)
Biogen discovers, develops and delivers innovative therapies for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and autoimmune disorders.
While Biogen leads the $20+ billion global multiple sclerosis market with Avonex, Tysabri, and Tecfidera (which should secure the firm’s leadership for the next several years), shares are down since the election.
True, BIIB recently had disappointing results from what was thought to be a promising compound, but we are optimistic about its spinal muscular atrophy treatment, Spinraza, and its recent labeling by United Healthcare as proven and medically necessary.
We continue to like the prospects of Biogen’s pipeline, its strong free cash flow generation and its willingness to aggressively buy back shares while investing in the future.
