BMY - Embedded Expectations Analysis - 2021 10 15

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMY:USA) currently trades at a historical low relative to UAFRS-based (Uniform) earnings, with a 5.4x Uniform P/E. At these levels, the market is pricing in bearish expectations for the firm, and management may haveconcerns about growth targets, cell therapy demand, and vector shortages.

Specifically, management may lack confidence in their ability to expand their immunology franchise, achieve revenue growth targets, and continue strong commercial performance. In addition, they may lack confidence in their ability to sustain share gains for Opdivo plus chemo in first-line gastric cancer with CheckMate-649 and they may have concerns about the progress of Factor Xla studies. Furthermore, they may have concerns about the impact of vector shortages on multiple cell therapy products, the sustainability of demand across both Breyanzi and Abecma, and the results of the Phase III trial for mavacamten competitor molecules. Additionally, management may lack confidence in their ability to increase in-person engagement and continue to build new trials in gastric. Finally, they may be
overstating the quality of their Phase III top line data in second-line transplant-eligible
large B-cell lymphoma, the potential of their patents for Eliquis, and the capabilities of
their cell therapy launches.

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.
