Baron Funds Comments on Bristol-Myers Squibb Company
After initiating a position in Bristol-Myers Squibb Company ( BMY ), we increased our conviction in BMY's stature as one of the premier names in all of biotech/pharma, deserving of its high multiple. Confidence comes from the performance of its lead immune-oncology asset, Opdivo that has captured 8…-85% market share versus Merck's competitive asset Keytruda, while growing -…--…% month over month. Given the frenetic pace of growth, we expect Opdivo to easily beat -…-6's $-.- billion Consensus sales number. Looking past -…-6, we expect this trend to continue as Bristol launches and/or expands usage of Opdivo in a variety of cancers (lung, melanoma, renal, head and neck, hodgkin's lymphoma, etc.) and helps change the paradigm of cancer's treatment worldwide.
