Up to Neutral on improved risk/reward

BMY shares have lagged pharma peers YTD due to a series of development setbacks for Opdivo in the key first line lung cancer indication. Although competition looms for the next round of (smaller) tumour types, we take a more constructive view on signs of Opdivo sales resiliency in existing indications, green shoots in the pipeline and much improved risk/reward. Our revised DCF PT moves to $55 ($49 prior) and we upgrade to Neutral. Since our Underweight initiation BMY shares are down 15% vs SPX up 40%.
