Wall Street Backs the Wrong Biotech

Updated

In this video, David Williamson reviews some of his favorite biotech firms. Many analysts have thrown their weight behind Biogen and its new BG12 drug for multiple sclerosis. However, David favors Gilead over Biogen since Gilead has a larger, more diverse product pipeline. Celgene is the No. 1 biotech in David's opinion since it also has blockbuster drugs but a PEG of less than 1.0. Amgen is a big company with more products in development than most people realize. Overall, for value and future earnings potential, David likes Celgene the best.
