Gilead Sciences at the Crossroads; HIV and Oncology Franchises Promising
Image Source: Gilead Sciences' first-quarter 2018 results. The loss of a key revenue-generating molecule is a tough, yet oftentimes manageable, portion of a pharma entity’s overall life cycle. Gilead Sciences is in the midst of a key turnaround as the loss of revenue from its Hepatitis C franchise is beginning to abate, while new novel treatments embark on the early stages of their respective revenue cycles. That said, we'd like to see traction in its HIV and oncology franchises, and perhaps the addition of a new franchise to the portfolio, or we will sour on the stock long-term.

Oil Majors Benefit from Higher Energy Resource Prices
Exxon Mobil, ConocoPhillips, and Chevron reported improved earnings and cash flow during the first quarter of 2018, thanks largely to higher realized energy resource pricing. The group may be better positioned for further bottom-line expansion moving forward as volume growth is expected to continue over the course of the year.

Growth Continues at Bristol-Myers; Eliquis Fantastic
Image Source: Bristol-Myers. Bristol Myers Squibb continues to put up nice revenue growth as demand for Eliquis is coming in better than expectations. The company’s hopes to win first-line therapy in combination therapy for non-small cell lung cancer with Opdivo have been dealt a severe blow, however. We haven’t liked Bristol-Myers' share-price performance of late and remain on the sidelines. However, we are watching its equity closely for addition to the simulated newsletter portfolios.

Waste Industry Collecting Cash
Pressures in the recycling business didn’t negate revenue growth across the municipal solid waste space during the first quarter of 2018, and the pace of operating-income and free-cash-flow expansion remains solid. Valuations could be more attractive, but dividends look strong, even though we’d like to see lower levels of financial leverage.

McDonald’s Breakfast, Starbucks’ Afternoons
Two of the most well-known brands are focusing on two different dayparts, but will the end game be increased competition across the board? We like the prospects for both McDonald’s and Starbucks, as we continue to be amazed at the pace of same-store-expansion at the former.

Portfolio Diversification Begins at Alexion; Shares Cheap
Image Source: Alexion. We view the acquisition of differentiated, late-stage molecules at an attractive rate as the optimal use of free cash flow for many in the biotech industry. The finite commercial life of a patented drug forces continued innovation as near-total revenue erosion is a certainty once patent protection has lapsed. Let’s review some of the recent events at Alexion to gain a further understanding of the underlying trends affecting the business.
