#6 - Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY)
The big news in the biopharmaceutical industry has come from weight-loss drug manufacturers such as Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE: NVO) and Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY). However, with both stocks near 52-week highs, The Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY) is an attractive option.
The company is a leader in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy and is the only company with two approved CAR T treatments for two distinct targets. And the company is just getting started. On April 22, 2024, Bristol-Myers announced a $380 million worldwide capacity reservation and supply agreement to manufacture CAR T cell therapies. The partnership aims to bring the promise of cell therapy to more patients faster.
BMY stock is down about 30% in the last 12 months despite YOY earnings growth. That's a discrepancy that you can use to your advantage. Plus, the company pays a reliable dividend with a 4.85% yield and is part of the Dividend Achievers club, which includes companies that have increased its dividend for at least 10 consecutive years.
