#5 - BioMarin Pharmaceutical (NASDAQ:BMRN)
BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) is another biopharmaceutical company on this list. BioMarin specializes in developing drugs for patients with serious and life-threatening rare diseases and medical conditions. As of November 2024, the company has eight products in market with an additional 11 candidates in clinical trials.
BMRN stock is down 31.8% in 2024 despite posting quarterly revenue (18%) and earnings (82%) that are sharply higher year-over-year. However, skeptics will readily point out that the company disappointed earnings expectations by 29%.
That's enough to fuel concerns about the company’s valuation (it’s trading at around 27x forward earnings) and how soon its pipeline will start generating revenue. On the other hand, the stock is showing signs of being oversold, and analysts are calling for a 29% increase in earnings in the next 12 months. BMRN has a Moderate Buy rating with a $94.16 price target that would be a 42% gain for investors.
