BMY - Embedded Expectations Analysis - 2019 06 10

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMY:USA) currently trades below recent averages relative to UAFRS-based (Uniform) Earnings, with a 9.5x Uniform P/E, implying bearish expectations for the firm. Moreover, management has concerns about the Celgene integration, the efficacy of OPDIVO, and the progress of their trials.

Specifically, management may lack confidence in their ability to maintain ELIQUIS's position as the leading oral anticoagulant, manage the Celgene integration without disrupting operations, and sustain growth across prioritized brands. In addition, they may be exaggerating the demand for first-line renal and second-line lung indications, the efficacy of OPDIVO plus YERVOY for high TMB patients, and the productivity of their translational medicine group. Moreover, they may be concerned about the progress of lupus and melanoma studies, the potential of their I-O/TKI combination and -9ER studies, and the proposed IPI legislation.

Valens Research

In 2009, just as the dust was settling from the last major equity and credit market crises, we launched a boutique research firm with the intention of breaking Wall Street’s biases and broken incentives:

  • GAAP and IFRS have failed to provide rules for reliable financial statement reporting
  • Stock analyst recommendations are not grounded in disciplined financial analysis
  • Credit agencies have been set up to grossly fail in their responsibilities to investors and the public markets
  • Utter lack of willingness of major research firms to employ the the most advanced forensic analysis available

We sought to provide investors and company analysts with a source of information that changed all that.
Many years later, our business model remains because little has changed on Wall Street.

  • Corporate credit ratings remain years behind the fundamental underpinnings of company performance
  • Stock analysts continue to make recommendations with deeply inherent biases
  • Research firms have failed to break down the walls between credit, equity, and macroeconomic research
  • The governing accounting bodies have created more leeway for mis-estimates and mis-classifications as financials have become unwieldy and overwhelming

The integrity of Valens Research is founded in our disciplined processes and analytics. No “star” analysts. No corporate advisory relationships. No-nonsense opinions and recommendations.
