Veeva Systems: One of my favourite stocks right nowI love it when fundamentals and technicals line up together. I am in general very bullish towards cloud-software companies, thats the future, especially when they have a footing in the pharma industry like veeva. This is a huge market and growing strongly year by year. The chart is a textbook bull flag. I am expecting a move into 80$ over the coming months. Longterm over the coming years we can also see prices above 100$. The only reasonable place to put a stop right now is below 50$. So do your own diligence and research, this is just my opinion towards this stock. Fundamental analysis by Morgan Stanley: Veeva Systems Inc VEEV, a cloud-computing company focused on the pharma and life sciences industry, is an underpriced asset within the broader SaaS universe, according to Morgan Stanley. The Analyst Morgan Stanley analyst Stan Zlotsky upgraded Veeva Systems from Equal-weight to Overweight and increased the price target from $69 to $72. The Thesis Veeva Systems has durable growth — fueled by an expanding $17-billion total addressable market — and margin potential that is not being reflected in current trading levels, Zlotsky said in a Tuesday note. A conservative setup into 2019 offers scope for estimates and shares to move up, he said. The company's best-in-class economics are likely to drive longer-term operating margin to 43 percent, representing the highest margin potential in Morgan Stanley's coverage universe, Zlotsky said. "Veeva's above average sales efficiency and a disciplined go-to-market has enabled the company to simultaneously deliver strong revenue growth and greater than 30-percent operating margins today, well above the 18-percent average among more mature SaaS peers," the analyst said. Morgan Stanley estimates 16-percent revenue growth on a CAGR basis to $1.7 billion and a 36-percent operating margin by calendar year 2023, resulting in free cash flow of $593 million. With the 12-percent pullback in Veeva Systems shares since June 2017 compared to a 14-percent gain for the SaaS peer group, Morgan Stanley sees an attractive entry point to rebuild positions in the shares.

Teva strong resistence at 19.33, yet not a buyDespite the recent company's efforts to reduce its debit, from a technical point of view, I would be neutral with Teva until we will see a cross-over between slow 200d and fast 50d moving average on a daily chart pattern. For those who are aggressives MACD is still positive but keep in mind the resistence at 19.33 first and 20 after. Exhaustion gap betweeen 16 and 18 has been filled. Personally I see such movement as a prize for what the new CEO has done to reduce the impact of debit in short and mid term. Still 2018 will be critical to conferm that what has been undertaken is going toward in the right direction.

VRX imminent attack to 18 dollarsVRX after the correction largly expected, yesterday as demostrated a strong bullish counterattack closing the session slightly less than the short entry recovering mostly 100%. The pattern therefore shows clearly the uptrend line in place. Investors are considering a Q4 better than Q3 looking for new confirmation about debit reduction, so I expect price will move up, breaking down the barrier set at 18 dollars. In case of confirmation this would be a strong signal as Valeant is gaining back attention and potential turn around. Still there is a long way to go through, but what is important right now to highlight is that the trend has been confirmed.

Teva Pharmaceutical industries. up or down? This is my first wave chart, so be gentle. :) i have 2 scenario. One is that wave 5 have ended and we are ready to a correctional wave of A,B,C. The other is that they will present bad revenue. And the price will continue the down trend, and stop at the support line at 6,49 where the 5th wave could end and start a correction of A,B,C. Fundamental: Teva have a great product portfolio, but have lost 64.46% decline year to date. and a 68.83% decline from 30/10/2016 to 30/10/2017 The decline have something to do with there stock pilling on debt that run along the loss in product sales. The U.S. generics industry is facing significant competitive and pricing pressure, which have been affecting the company’s generic revenues. An increase in FDA generic drug approvals and ongoing customer consolidation are resulting in additional competitive pressure in the industry. earlier this month, in a major blow to Teva, Mylan MYL launched its generic version of the 40 mg formulation, much earlier than expected. Mylan also launched a second generic version of Copaxone 20 mg formulation (once-daily). Though these generic launches will not hurt Teva’s third-quarter sales and profits, Teva estimates that it will have a negative impact of at least 25 cents per share on fourth-quarter earnings. Teva Pharmaceutical industries have a P/E Ratio (TTM)=-2,22 And a EPS(TTM)=-6,11 This means that the company is losing money. besides that, investors now pay 2,22 Dollars less pr earned dollar They still have a 1,20(8,07%) Forward Dividend and Yield this means that the company is expecting a low grow rate because of the high yield (if the Yield is low, a company is expecting high growth expectations and are more likely to give investors reward through out a rise in the stock price) The Beta is low at 0,72. a Beta below 1 is a less volatile stock. My target will be at 36.49$ where my stops loss will be at 6,18$ general 1y target estimate from other investors is at 20,02$ Profile: Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited develops, manufactures, markets, and distributes generic medicines and a portfolio of specialty medicines worldwide. It operates through two segments, Generic Medicines and Specialty Medicines. The Generic Medicines segment offers sterile products, hormones, narcotics, high-potency drugs, and cytotoxic substances in various dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, injectables, inhalants, liquids, ointments, and creams.

October 26 Earnings: Gilead - Flying the KiteGilead's core product pipeline, including recent FDA approval is set to soar as key drugs and generics are continuing to outperform. The company's recent acquisition of KITE Pharma came at the perfect moment with KITE being granted a key drug approval by the FDA. Gilead's recent cost cutting efforts and R&D focus are to further push growth prospect and boost overall FY guidance. Generic competition will continue to weigh, however, and limit some blockbuster drug expansion. I'm starting Gilead with a $90 PT for an extended post-earnings move. A S/L at $75 around recent area is advised.

October 17 Earnings: Johnson&Johnson- Generic Competition GaloreJohnson & Johnson has been on an impressive intra-quarterly run with solid performance across major segments. Strengths in the company's performance are to be driven by: -Imbruvica and Darzalex should continue to perform well. Meaningful improvement from Stelara and Xarelto. -New product launches like Tremfy (approved in the US late 2017 for plaque psoriasis) -Revenue contribution from Swiss biotech Actelion, which J&J bought in June. -Medical devices segment is expected to continue its strong growth trajectory with new product launches. Weaknesses for the quarter are expected to be: -Key arthritis drug Remicade to remain under pressure from generic competition. -Invokana hurting from higher managed care discounting. -Sluggish FDA review requiring more information before approving new drug treatments. -Lawsuit from Pfizer to be clarified during the conference call. Overall, I believe high expenses and generic competition will overcome the positives for the quarter. I'm starting Johnson&Johnson with a $130 PT for the post earnings move with a tight but flexible 2.5% stop.

Gilead Biotech Aiming HighAlthough the ideas I share with you all revolve around currency pairs, I thought I'd share another specialty of mine: Biotech and pharma stock. If you're in the field, you may have already heard about Gilead having one of the best price to earning ratio of the major biotech companies. You may have also noticed the sharp decline that they experienced in the summer of 2015 which has largely been attributed to a loss in momentum due to the expiration of their patents and increased competition in the market. One could also argue that investors selling their stock contributed to the snowballing drop that seems to still be underway. Despite all this, there has been a lot of positive news recently with current projects that were once in the pipeline (such as Harvoni and Sovaldi) that have now been approved for the treatment of Hepatitis C. This puts them squarely back in competition with AbbVie and other similarly sized companies. In addition to other projects, the temptation of selling put options on Gilead at this very attractive price should yield dividends within the coming years. That said, the reversal is still not quite there yet but this is a very long term play that you should be ready for. As with currency pairs, this idea can turn on a dime so you should always take the necessary precautions!
