PM ImagesThis was another strong week for the markets as the S&P 500 climbed 0.97% and the Nasdaq gained 1.6%. As we head into the FOMC meeting, yields shot up on the 2-Year at the end of the week, closing at 4.9%. The yield curve still remains inverted, as the 10-year yield is 4.44%. I don't think we're going to see a cut this week as the U.S. added 272,000 jobs on non-farm payrolls in May, which was significantly larger than the consensus estimate of 185,000. CME Group has slightly increased the proba ...

The Oracle of Omaha is by far the most well-known long-term investor we have alive today, and if you are a newbie, looking into Warren Buffett stocks to sell is a good way to weed out the bad stocks from your portfolio. I believe Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A, NYSE:BRK-B) alone makes for a pretty good starter portfolio, as it acts like an exchange-traded fund with solid growth. However, if you have individual holdings and are targeting more growth, it still makes sense to mirror some of Buffett’s moves.Thi ...

Company Overview - BMY operates in the healthcare sector, focusing on pharmaceuticals that address various diseases, including oncology, cardiovascular, and immunology [4]. - The company has a strong history of dividend payments, having issued dividends for 34 consecutive years, with the current yield at approximately 5.8%, the highest in a decade [4][22].

Debt and Acquisitions - BMY's long-term debt has risen to $49.5 billion, primarily due to recent acquisitions, including Mirati for $5.8 billion and Karuna Therapeutics for $14 billion [7][8]. - The high debt levels, combined with elevated interest rates, may suppress growth initiatives and create a more conservative financial stance [8][9]. Market Conditions - The current high interest rate environment poses a significant vulnerability for BMY, impacting its stock price negatively [9]. - The company has a strong liquidity position, with cash and cash equivalents totaling $9.3 billion and cash from operations at $13.72 billion [9].

Conclusion - BMY is positioned as a strong investment opportunity due to its solid fundamentals, proactive acquisitions, and potential for dividend growth, despite facing challenges from patent expiries and high debt levels [24].

Investors can start a significant position, in terms of shares owned, for a small investment. But as every investor knows, price and value aren’t the same thing.When many investors think about undervalued stocks, they look for specific metrics. Some investors may examine technical signals, for example, like a stock trading near its 52-week low. Others may search for a favorable price ...

PM Images This was another interesting week as we get closer to the June FOMC meeting. The US core PCE index increased by 0.2%, which was lighter than the consensus estimate of 0.3% in April. This can certainly be looked at as positive, as it's the slowest increase in MoM in 2024, and the last time PCE increased by 0.2% was in December of 2023. The Fed pays close attention to this metric because it takes consumer spending into consideration, whereas CPI is often looked at as a cost of living fluctuation ...
