Abbvie Stock Analysis – Fundamentals
Abbvie, which is a drug company most famous for its rheumatoid arthritis drug, Humira, that you probably have heard of during ad breaks on your TV, and it’s the one that goes on and on about the side effects to the point that you lose track which disease the drug actually cures and lose the will to live because of the possible side effects a simple drug can cause you.
How Wall Street Ranks AbbVie Stock
The Abbvie stock pays really high dividend payments at around 4.99% yield. And Seeking Alpha’s quant and Wall Street Analysis have ranked it in the top 10 stocks to buy, grading it A+ in terms of profitability, A in terms of growth and value.
But is Abbvie really as good as Wall Street wants us to believe?
That’s up for debate because unlike its competition in this category, more than 50% of Abbvie’s sales come from only 1 product, and that is Humira. Now Humira is certainly the leady drug in its category and is protected by a number of patents which gives it a competitive advantage… But the risk here is if there’s a drug pricing cut by a larger player, or if there’s any new competitive threats to Humira, both from biosimilars and new branded drug competition.
Also, AbbVie has taken on significant debt to purchase Allergan, but that actually may be a good thing because it could lead to a robust cash flows that will help manage the heavy debt load.
Overall, I would put AbbVie at a medium risk level but this could be leveled off if you’re investing in it mainly for the dividend payment cashflow.
