Gilead Sciences (GILD): Pattern Still Intact—What’s the Plan?Let’s quickly review our open position in $GILD. We’ve managed to turn the whole chart around, and I hope everyone who bought in had the strength to sit it out. It was a close call with the stop loss, but now we’re up significantly, and we’ve moved our stop loss closer to $65.46. So far, we’re up 17%, and we don’t want to dictate when to take profits. If you’re in, do your own research and take profits whenever you feel comfortable—it's all up to you 👍.
If you take a closer look, you’ll see that NASDAQ:GILD has been following a nice upward pattern: a surge, then three candles down, then another surge. I’m not sure how long this pattern will hold, but as long as we don’t retrace too much, we should be fine. I also like that we’re respecting all the key levels. The RSI is about to be overbought, so we might see another three candles down, but this time it could be a deeper pullback.
We’ll see how it plays out, but we’re very pleased with this swing trade so far. Congratulations to everyone who’s been riding this wave 🍾.
Gilead Sciences (GILD): First Take Profit in a High RangeGilead Sciences is now back trading at the high end of its range, and we’ve decided to take our first profit here. It’s crucial to respect range-bound trading, and there is a strong possibility of a pullback at this point. However, we don’t expect this pullback to reach the lower end of the range again but rather settle in the middle. If NASDAQ:GILD reclaims this range high, it could provide even more upside and new opportunities.
We are also raising our stop loss to $65.80 to lock in gains. Gilead serves as our "natural hedge" against broader risk-on market conditions, and with a 40% bounce from the range low at the same time the S&P 500 is hitting new all-time highs, it’s clear that Gilead can benefit as well.
We’re keeping a close eye on this stock, and if another opportunity arises, we’ll be ready to act.
Gilead's Trodelvy Faces Setback in Lung Cancer Trial
In a recent announcement, Gilead Sciences ( NASDAQ:GILD ) disclosed disappointing results from a late-stage trial evaluating its antibody-drug conjugate, Trodelvy, in second-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The Phase 3 study, aiming to expand Trodelvy's applications, did not meet its primary goal of significantly improving survival for previously treated patients. Despite a noted three-month survival benefit for a subgroup, the overall outcome fell short of statistical significance. This setback raises questions about Trodelvy's potential in lung cancer and underscores the challenges in developing effective treatments for this complex disease.
The Trial and Its Implications:
The trial involved 603 patients with metastatic or advanced NSCLC who had experienced disease progression despite standard platinum-based chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitor treatment. Gilead reported that patients receiving Trodelvy exhibited longer survival compared to those on chemotherapy, but the difference did not reach statistical significance. Notably, a subgroup of patients who did not respond to their last checkpoint inhibitor treatment showed a more than three-month survival benefit. Gilead plans to discuss these results with regulators and present the full data at an upcoming medical meeting, indicating a commitment to transparent communication and a thorough examination of the findings.
Exploring Trodelvy's Potential:
Despite the setback, Gilead ( NASDAQ:GILD ) remains optimistic about Trodelvy's potential in metastatic NSCLC. The company emphasizes the drug's positive impact on a specific patient subgroup and expresses confidence in Trodelvy's broader lung cancer clinical development program. Gilead's Chief Medical Officer, Merdad Parsey, highlights ongoing Phase 2 and 3 trials investigating Trodelvy in combination with Keytruda as an initial treatment for NSCLC patients. The company's dedication to understanding the drug's effects and exploring potential pathways reflects a commitment to advancing cancer care.
Trodelvy's Safety Profile and Current Approvals:
Gilead ( NASDAQ:GILD ) reassures stakeholders by affirming that Trodelvy's safety profile aligns with prior studies, with common adverse events being neutropenia (low white blood cell counts) and diarrhea. It's worth noting that Trodelvy is already approved by U.S. regulators for specific advanced breast cancer and bladder cancer indications. In the first nine months of the previous year, Gilead reported sales of $765 million for Trodelvy, attesting to its commercial success in the approved indications.
Future Prospects and Challenges:
Despite the setback in the second-line lung cancer trial, Gilead remains resilient in its pursuit of innovative solutions for oncology. The ongoing front-line Phase 3 trial combining Trodelvy with Keytruda suggests a strategic focus on exploring novel treatment approaches. However, as emphasized by Parsey, results from this trial are not expected for at least a couple of years, highlighting the prolonged timeline inherent in clinical research.
Conclusion:
Gilead's ( NASDAQ:GILD ) recent trial results for Trodelvy in second-line NSCLC treatment present a nuanced narrative of challenges and opportunities in the evolving landscape of cancer therapeutics. The company's commitment to transparency, ongoing research, and exploration of combination therapies underscores the complexity of addressing lung cancer, one of the most formidable challenges in oncology.
As the full dataset becomes available and discussions with regulators unfold, stakeholders will eagerly anticipate the next chapter in Trodelvy's journey, hoping for breakthroughs that could reshape the future of lung cancer treatment.

Germany requests 5% of EU supply of remdesivir
Germany has requested around 5% of the supply of remdesivir under a six-month European Union supply deal, its health ministry said on Monday, despite criticism of the deal due to a lack of evidence about the antiviral drug's effectiveness in treating COVID-19.
A course of treatment for COVID-19 requires six doses and costs 2,070 euros ($2,407) per treatment, under the terms of the deal.

ridethepig | Gilead to ATH's with Remdesivir📍 The effect of Remdesivir...
The power to unlock the all time highs via Covid is systematically, within reach rather fast, due to the nature of drug prices which are inelastic. The effect of Gilead being treated as utility is heightened by DT putting the big orders in.
Compare the following two diagrams:
Phase III trials & Chinese red carpet
Buyers maintaining a strong floor.
In the first, you will notice how once we got the break of the channel buyers were allowed to go wandering all the way to the target on grounds of safety! The second wave looks inevitable despite the political fairydust around re-openings, stimulus is running out and now the attempt to reinstate pockets of further lockdowns will make activity immovable.
Thus the question, why adding more Gilead?
When building a long/short portfolio, we must add hedges and blocks accordingly. The strategic protection with Gilead is pragmatic, 450 million new customers unlocked via European clearance & we already got the ✅ for the red carpet from China. Complacency around the virus is remarkable, UK cheerleading "Super Saturday" and US "Independence Day" ... who would have thought we are in the middle of a pandemic. In any case... An attractive constellation for a swing towards all time highs.
Thanks as usual for keeping the feedback coming 👍 or 👎
