#4 - Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN)
The next stock on our list has a similar story to AbbVie. That is, Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) has several high-revenue generating products in the market. Some of the most common names are Enbrel to treat plaque psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis; Neulasta which reduces the chance of infection for cancer patients; and Otezla which is also used to treat plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
Although AMGN doesn’t have as attractive of a technical setup at the moment, the stock does appear to be forming a level of support of around $197. If that proves to be the case, then investors may have reason to believe the analyst's forecast for a price target of around $230 will be accurate. And in the meantime, Amgen is offering an attractive dividend for sticking around. The company currently pays out $7.04 on an annual basis and the company has increased its dividend in each of the last 10 years.
