Key Points Pfizer is one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. It has a long history of navigating the competitive and technically complex industry. Pfizer's stock has lost half its value since late 2021, but don't count out this industry survivor. 10 stocks we like better than Pfizer › Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) got a huge boost during the coronavirus pandemic thanks to its COVID-19 vaccine. Since that point, however, investors have soured on the stock, which has lost more than half its value since its 2021 high-water mark. There are very real concerns to consider with the business, but investor sentiment may have swung too far to the negative here. What does Pfizer do? Pfizer is one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, with a long history of innovation. This is an important fact to keep in mind as you look at the stock. The drug industry is capital-intensive due to the heavy research and development spending required. Adding to costs is the regulatory burden drugmakers face, since new drugs must prove both effective and safe before they are allowed to be sold. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Further complicating matters is the fact that Pfizer is just one of many industry giants. Competition is fierce, with all drug companies working hard to come out with new drugs, often within the same treatment niche. The costs of developing a new drug are so prohibitive that pharmaceutical companies are given a limited period during which they can sell new drugs exclusively. Patent protections are good and bad. While blockbuster drugs can produce huge profits for a company, when those patents expire, revenue and profit can decline quickly as generic versions enter the market. This is known as a patent cliff. What's important to remember is that all of this is just business as usual for a drug company. Pfizer has proven it know...

iQoncept/iStock via Getty Images Shares of rare disease concern BioMarin Pharmaceuticals Inc. ( BMRN ) initially rallied nicely after announcing its intention to acquire model portfolio holding Amicus Therapeutics ( FOLD ) for $4.8 billion on December 19th. The acquisition delivers two rare disease commercial assets with blockbuster potential, providing a measure of insurance against competitive threats to its soon-to-be blockbuster med, Voxzogo. With many synergies, as well as geographic, label, and indication expansion opportunities for the two incoming therapies, this initially slightly dilutive but strategic acquisition merited a deeper dive. An analysis follows below. BMRN Stock Chart (Seeking Alpha) Company Overview: BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. is a San Rafael, California-based commercial-stage biotech focused on the development and marketing of enzyme replacement therapies and genetic medicines with sales in nearly 80 countries across the globe. The company currently markets eight products and is advancing multiple clinical programs comprised of new therapies and label expansion opportunities. Once its pending acquisition of Amicus Therapeutics closes, it will add two commercial assets with blockbuster potential and the domestic commercial rights to one clinical program. BioMarin was founded in 1997 and went public in 1999, raising net proceeds of $70.0 million at $13 per share. Its stock trades around $56.50 a share and sports just under an $11 billion market capitalization. Pre-Combination Status The company’s early raison d’être was enzyme replacement therapies (ERTs), receiving its first approval back in 2005 for lysosomal storage disorder treatment Naglazyme (galsulfase). Its five ERTs were responsible for revenue of $1.56 billion in the first nine months of 2025 (YTD25), up 8% from YTD24. Of note in this group is the phenylalanine-metabolizing enzyme Palynziq, for which BioMarin is seeking a label expansion into adolescents to reduce phenylalanine conc...

2月1日，据信载着英国前王子安德鲁的汽车驶近通往皇家别墅的门房。皇家别墅位于温莎城堡周围的庄园内。 （路透社） 据英国广播公司（BBC）报道，第二名指控爱泼斯坦性侵的女性声称，爱泼斯坦曾安排她前往英国，与前王子安德鲁发生性关系。 法新社报道，这名女性的美国律师星期六（1月31日）告诉BBC，这起性侵事件发生在2010年，地点是安德鲁王子位于伦敦西部温莎庄园的住所。当时她20多岁。 此前，美国司法部公布了一批爱泼斯坦案的新文件，其中包括安德鲁跪在一名躺在地板上的女性身上的照片。 英国首相斯塔默说，安德鲁应该接受美国国会的质询，就爱泼斯坦的罪行作证。 律师爱德华兹说，这名女性称，在与安德鲁共度一夜后，她还参观了白金汉宫。 “我们说的至少有一名女性是爱泼斯坦派去见安德鲁王子的。” 他说，他的委托人在性侵事件发生前曾与安德鲁有过联系，他正在考虑代表她提起民事诉讼。 安德鲁王子此前一再否认与爱泼斯坦有任何不当行为。 10多年前，一名爱泼斯坦的受害者朱弗雷首次公开指控安德鲁王子性侵。 去年年底，朱弗雷自杀后出版的回忆录中以令人震惊的细节讲述了相关指控。随后，英国国王查尔斯剥夺了安德鲁的所有王室头衔和荣誉。

zimmytws/iStock via Getty Images It's been a wild ride already in January for the stock market, but few industries have been as roundly shaken as major healthcare insurers. News on Medicare reimbursement rates sent the stocks of UnitedHealth Group ( UNH ) and Humana ( HUM ) tumbling, and the pain looks set to deepen. It's not a year for passive investing, and we need to take care to insulate our portfolios from these one-off risks, and to that extent, I think the time is ripe to sell SelectQuote ( SLQT ), one of the major third-party agents and distributors of Medicare Advantage health plans. Despite trading at cheap EBITDA multiples, shares of SelectQuote have lost two-thirds of their value over the past year, and unfortunately I think the pain will deepen before we see a light at the end of the tunnel. Data by YCharts I last wrote a neutral article on SelectQuote in November, when the stock was trading closer to $1.70. Since then, SelectQuote has continued to shred value, and fundamentals are likely worsening as Medicare insurers prepare for a profit crunch. The next major catalyst for SelectQuote will be its fiscal Q2 (December quarter) earnings release, which contains the all-important Medicare open general enrollment period in which the company delivers the majority of its annual revenue. Of course, the reimbursement shocks that were announced in January won't be impacting this season, but we think the company is likely to issue cautious go-forward commentary that will derail sentiment for the stock. As such, I'm dropping my rating on SelectQuote to sell before earnings. Flat Medicare Advantage Reimbursement Rates Will Set a Dour Tone Over Q2 Earnings First, let's set the stage for the Medicare Advantage ecosystem and how SelectQuote participates in this ecosystem. As many are aware, Medicare Advantage is a way for seniors to enroll in private health insurance in lieu of traditional Medicare. They pay premiums directly to insurers like UnitedHealth (often lower...

You can take a set-it-and-forget-it approach with these two industry leaders. After leading Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A +1.19%)(BRK.B +0.78%) for 60 years, Warren Buffett stepped away as CEO at age 95. To say it was a good run would be an understatement. Buffett and his managers turned Berkshire Hathaway into a trillion-dollar company (as of Jan. 28) and routinely outperformed the market along the way. No doubt that lots of Buffett's philosophies will continue with Berkshire Hathaway, including many of the investments made while he was leading the way. If you're looking for a couple to add to your portfolio, these two Berskhire investments are built to be successful for quite some time. 1. Visa Visa (V 3.00%) isn't a large piece of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio (0.9%), but it's one of the more reliable stocks it owns. Buffett frequently talked about the importance of a competitive moat, and in Visa's case, its competitive moat is its massive reach. It's used in more than 220 countries and territories, trusted by more than 14,500 financial institutions, accepted by more than 175 million merchants, and in the 12 months leading up to Sept. 30, 2025, it processed 329 billion transactions. Expand NYSE : V Visa Today's Change ( -3.00 %) $ -9.97 Current Price $ 321.83 Key Data Points Market Cap $615B Day's Range $ 321.61 - $ 332.79 52wk Range $ 299.00 - $ 375.51 Volume 351K Avg Vol 7.1M Gross Margin 78.02 % Dividend Yield 0.76 % Visa is in a great position in the financial industry thanks to its business model. Although you'll see Visa on your card, it doesn't actually issue the cards. Other companies, such as Chase, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America, issue the cards. Visa simply runs the payment network that enables card transactions. This setup means Visa doesn't take a hit when someone doesn't pay their credit card bill. For example, if a Chase Sapphire customer bill doesn't pay their bill, Chase takes the loss, not Visa. It also means that Visa can operate with high marg...

2月1日，在伊朗伊斯兰革命47周年纪念日前夕，哈梅内伊在德黑兰与伊朗民众会面时挥手致意。 （法新社） 伊朗最高领袖 哈梅内伊 星期天（2月1日）将近期的 反政府抗议活动 比作“政变”，并警告称，如果美国在中东部署军队后对伊朗发动任何攻击，都将引发地区战争。 法新社报道，伊朗当局对抗议活动的镇压引发了美国总统特朗普的干预威胁，特朗普已向该地区 派遣一个航母战斗群 。 哈梅内伊说：“美国人应该明白，如果他们发动战争，这次将是一场地区战争。”他告诉伊朗民众“不必害怕”特朗普的言论。 伊朗的示威活动最初是对高昂生活成本的不满，但后来演变成一场大规模的反政府运动。伊朗领导人将其描述为由美国和以色列煽动的“骚乱”。 哈梅内伊说：“他们（暴徒）袭击了警察、政府机构、伊斯兰革命卫队基地、银行和清真寺，并焚烧了《古兰经》……这就像一场政变。”他补充说，政变已被镇压。

Key Points AbbVie boasts an impressive streak of dividend growth, and that is unlikely to end anytime soon. Mastercard can support a rapidly growing dividend as it gains ground in a vast addressable market. 10 stocks we like better than AbbVie › Over the past decade, AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) and Mastercard (NYSE: MA) have produced strong market returns. Their performance is even better once we account for dividends reinvested. That is one of the reasons income investing is so powerful: Dividends can significantly boost long-term returns. With that said, here is why AbbVie and Mastercard remain excellent dividend picks today. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » 1. AbbVie There is at least one thing that makes AbbVie an outstanding dividend stock. The company is a Dividend King, that is, a corporation with at least 50 straight years of payout increases. This is no easy feat and speaks volumes about AbbVie's business. While the past is not a guarantee of future performance, AbbVie looks likely to keep growing its dividends for a long time. The company's vast portfolio of medicines across multiple therapeutic areas and deep pipeline allow it to generate consistent revenue and earnings while overcoming patent cliffs. Meanwhile, AbbVie can expand its pipeline through acquisitions or licensing deals, as it has done numerous times in recent years. Further, AbbVie has a resilient, defensive business that performs relatively well even when the economy is down, allowing it to keep the dividend hikes coming even amid severe challenges. AbbVie should also capitalize on long-term tailwinds -- such as the world's aging population -- that will drive growing demand for pharmaceutical drugs. These factors all make AbbVie an ideal stock for dividend-seekers. 2. Mastercard Though it isn't primarily known for its dividend program, payment processing giant Mast...

Key Points Taking a hard look at your savings will help you determine how near you are to being ready to retire. If you claim before full retirement age and continue working, the Social Security Administration will withhold part of each benefit payment. If your spouse plans to collect Social Security spousal benefits, know precisely how much they'll receive. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › Imagine yourself back in high school algebra class. However, instead of one teacher standing in front of you, there are 10 or 12, and they're all talking at the same time. That's what it can be like when you're looking for financial information. Nearly everyone who advises you has a slightly different opinion about the best way to plan for retirement. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » If you ask anyone the perfect age for you to retire, the answers are likely to be all over the place. The following questions can help you determine whether the time is right. 1. Do you have sufficient resources? Social Security is only intended to replace 40% of your income. What about the other 60%? Do you have a retirement account, retirement annuity, rental income, or self-employed retirement account to cover the bulk of your expenses? If not, it may mean you need a few more years of work and savings to retire comfortably. 2. Do you suspect you'll live a shorter- or longer-than-average life? Life expectancy is a funny thing. You may live a much longer life than you expect, even if your parents died relatively young. According to the Social Security Administration's (SSA) life expectancy table, a male baby is expected to live about 74 years. However, once a male reaches age 65, his life expectancy jumps to 83 years. A newborn baby girl has a life expectancy of 80. Once she reaches age 65, her life expectancy is nearly 86 years. Regardless of what an actuary tab...

Since becoming CEO, Ryan Cohen has redefined GameStop's business and invested company funds outside of retailing. Michael Burry achieved fame when he correctly predicted the housing crisis in 2008. Now he has made another controversial investment call. While it may not be as bold as his 2008 prediction, it is likely to capture the attention of investors. His latest contrarian call involves purchasing shares of GameStop (GME +4.69%) stock. Although Burry was a GameStop shareholder in the past, the reasoning behind his move back into the stock may come as a surprise to investors, and here's why. Michael Burry and GameStop Burry said he was not buying GameStop for its underlying business. Instead, he believes in its leader, CEO Ryan Cohen. He went so far as to compare Cohen to Warren Buffett, claiming GameStop could become a business like Berkshire Hathaway. Buffett famously bought Berkshire in 1962 when it was a struggling New England textile manufacturer. He wholly redefined the business, investing in what he deemed high-quality companies during market downturns. Indeed, some of Cohen's moves make such a comparison understandable. He added digital commerce to a dying retail video game business. He has also invested in collectibles and has invested some of the funds in Bitcoin. However, Cohen's largest investment may be GameStop stock itself. He now owns about 42.1 million shares, approximately 9% of the outstanding shares, and could receive options on more than 171.5 million shares if he meets certain performance goals. Since Cohen joined GameStop's board in January 2021, his vision has helped GameStop outperform the S&P 500. Cohen as the next Warren Buffett Despite such successes and Burry's optimism, it is likely premature to make Warren Buffett comparisons. Indeed, Buffett frequently reinvested funds in Berkshire shares, as Cohen has bought shares of GameStop. Also, collectibles (which can be investments in themselves) and the Bitcoin purchase could pay off for Ga...

Saudi Arabia ’s economy expanded at the fastest pace in three years in 2025, with the oil sector emerging as a stronger engine of growth under new OPEC+ supply policy. Gross domestic product rose 4.5% in the 12 months through December, according to preliminary data published by the statistics office on Sunday. The expansion was the strongest since 2022, as was the 5.6% growth rate seen for the oil economy. Non-oil activities also remained robust, though momentum slowed for the third straight year. The overall economy grew 4.9% year on year in the final quarter of 2025. State oil giant Saudi Aramco has been pumping more crude since around mid-2025 as part of supply increases agreed to by OPEC+, led by the kingdom and Russia. The Gulf nation churned out about 10 million barrels a day in the final three months of last year, the most since early 2023, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Sunday’s GDP data underscores that Saudi Arabia’s economic activity remains a bright spot as the nation faces fiscal pressures including sustained budget deficits and spending cuts. The government is now taking steps to balance those factors — including shifting plans at some major projects — while considering fresh volatility in global oil markets. Saudi Arabia’s Pullback Spreads, From Neom to World Cup Stadiums Saudi Arabia Looks to Tap Wealthy Families in New Quest for Cash Saudis Focus on ‘Wiser’ Spending as Oil Slide Crimps Revenue Benchmark Brent crude topped $70 a barrel last week for the first time in months as geopolitical tensions between Iran, Israel and the US flared. While any sustained increase in prices would boost Saudi oil revenues, a renewed conflict risks slowing growth in the country’s broader economy.

Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests Boyd Gaming is undervalued by 32.9%. Track this in your watchlist or portfolio , or discover 875 more undervalued stocks based on cash flows .

All of these figures are in $ and remain below $1b, so they are still firmly in the hundreds of millions range.

They differ from actively managed funds in that they don’t have professionals hand-picking stocks. An active fund will try to perform better than the S&P 500 by picking a handful of stocks from it. Conversely, rather than try to beat the market, an index fund is happy to capture its returns. Index funds are passively managed funds that aim to mirror the performance of a specific market benchmark. An S&P 500 index fund, for example, will seek to replicate the S&P 500’s performance by matching its holdings and weightings. “Putting some money in an index fund isn’t bad advice — it’s a good way to play it safe,” Cramer said on his show Mad Money with CNBC (5). He told CNBC (4) he has a “radical” approach to help everyday investors grow their portfolios and meet their financial goals. Here are the three assets Cramer says to invest in — and what you need to know about them. If your goal is to retire early, you’ll need to save aggressively early on in your career and invest your money wisely. Finance personality Jim Cramer has some guidance in that regard. These aspirations might be too ambitious, given the affordability crisis gripping this generation. TIAA’s 2025 American Retirement Confidence Survey found that two in three Americans believe retiring even between the ages of 65 and 70 is unattainable — with many planning to work until they’re physically unable to do so (3). What’s more, Gen Z believes the ideal retirement age is 59, while Millennials believe it is 61, according to Manulife John Hancock's 2025 Financial Resilience and Longevity Study (2).

Prediction markets offer a unique way to make money, even if top cryptocurrencies are in the red. Over the past 90 days, only 12 of the top 100 cryptocurrencies are in the green. Many -- including Bitcoin (BTC 5.09%) -- are down 25% or more during that time period. Against that backdrop, it might seem impossible that crypto investors are making money these days. But there's one way to make money in a down market that is relatively new: investing in prediction market contracts. Until recently, the top two prediction market platforms were Kalshi and Polymarket. But Robinhood Markets (HOOD 1.74%) and Coinbase Global (COIN 2.23%) are getting into the act now, and crypto prediction markets are really heating up. So are they worth investing in or not? How to invest in prediction markets For crypto investors, prediction market contracts can be divided into two basic types: those that attempt to predict the future price of a specific cryptocurrency, and those that attempt to predict the outcome of a specific crypto industry event. For example, investors can attempt to predict the future price of Bitcoin. On the Robinhood app, you click on the "Investing" tab, click on the "Prediction Markets" link, and then hit the "Crypto" tab. There, you'd see a wide range of potential Bitcoin contracts you could trade.

If you're a long-term investor, you could attempt to predict the price of Bitcoin over the next year. The rules are simple: If your cryptocurrency hits a certain price target (or if a certain crypto industry event occurs), you make money. If the event does not occur, you lose money. During the time period of the contract, you're free to trade the contract to someone el...

2025年4月8日，无国界医生组织的人道主义物资存放在埃及边境城镇阿里什。 （法新社） 以色列星期天（2月1日）宣布，由于国际慈善机构“无国界医生”未能提供其巴勒斯坦籍员工名单，将终止它在加沙运作。 法新社报道，以色列侨民事务和打击反犹太主义部说：“我们正着手终止无国界医生在加沙地带的活动。” 该部说，这是因为“在加沙开展工作的人道主义组织必须提交当地员工名单，但无国界医生没有提交”。它还说，无国界医生将于2月28日前停止在加沙的工作并撤离。 去年12月，以色列侨民事务和打击反犹太主义部宣布，由于未能提供巴勒斯坦籍员工的详细信息，将从3月1日起禁止包括无国界医生在内的37个援助组织在加沙开展活动。 该部曾指控无国界医生的两名员工与哈马斯和回教圣战组织有关联，但无国界医生对此予以强烈否认。 以色列侨民事务和打击反犹太主义部星期天说，无国界医生曾在1月初承诺，将按照以色列当局的要求提供工作人员名单。 “尽管该组织公开做出承诺，但它并未提交名单。” 随后，无国界医生宣布完全放弃注册程序。 无国界医生星期五（1月30日）在网站上发表声明称，已同意与以色列当局分享其巴勒斯坦和国际员工的名单。 “然而，尽管我们多次努力，但显然无法与以色列当局就所需的具体保证达成一致。” “这些保证包括：任何员工信息都只能用于其既定的行政用途，并且不会让同事面临风险。” 无国界医生说，他们没有收到这方面的保证，因此决定在目前情况下不分享员工信息。 在加沙战争期间，无国界医生有15名员工丧生。

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is making big changes, and it started 2026 with some job cuts to recalibrate and refocus its efforts on AI-powered biomedical research. The philanthropic organization, formed by Meta cofounder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, is cutting about 70 jobs, or roughly 8% of its workforce, a CZI spokesperson confirmed to Fortune. The layoffs happened primarily at the organization’s Redwood City headquarters in San Mateo, Calif. In 2025, Zuckerberg and Chan laid the groundwork for remaking their philanthropic organization into one focused on AI-powered biomedical research, and its flagship Biohub network in particular. Their move extends a broader retreat from the couple’s earlier push into education and social-justice causes, although they’ll continue to make donations to local organizations. “I feel like the science work that we’ve done, the Biohub model in particular, has been the most impactful thing that we have done,” Zuckerberg said during an event at the Biohub Imaging Institute in Redwood City in November, according to the Associated Press. “So we want to really double down on that. Biohub is going to be the main focus of our philanthropy going forward.” The couple has dedicated, through the Giving Pledge, to give away 99% of their lifetime wealth. Their massive move also underscores how big donors are racing to back science-heavy, tech-centric projects such as peers like the Gates Foundation. The philanthropy started by Bill and Melinda French Gates will shutter in 2045 and has plans to make a record $9 billion in donations this year while remaining primarily focused on health care and disease research. Why CZI had layoffs and its pivot to Biohub Because the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has big plans to expand its biomedical and science focus and step a little further back from its original focus areas of education, criminal justice reform, housing, and community development, it now needs employees with experti...

Key Points Berkshire Hathaway has a not-so-secret weapon. New CEO Greg Abel is prepared to use this weapon to benefit shareholders. While Berkshire remains a Buffett stock, it's also more than a Buffett stock. 10 stocks we like better than Berkshire Hathaway › Has Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) lost its luster now that Warren Buffett has stepped down as CEO? Some might think so, but I don't. Sure, Berkshire has lagged well behind the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) since Buffett announced at the company's annual shareholder meeting in May 2025 that he planned to pass the torch to Greg Abel. However, I believe there's one especially compelling reason why now is a great time to buy Berkshire Hathaway stock. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Berkshire's not-so-secret weapon The reason I think buying Berkshire Hathaway stock can be summed up in one word: optionality. Berkshire has the flexibility to do pretty much anything it wants. Few companies have such a luxury. It's no secret what the primary factor is behind Berkshire's optionality. The company's cash position was at an all-time high of nearly $382 billion as of the end of the third quarter of 2025. I won't be surprised if the total is even higher when Berkshire announces its fourth-quarter results, considering the conglomerate's ability to generate significant free cash flow. There's considerable uncertainty in the market. President Trump continues to threaten to impose steep tariffs on major U.S. trading partners. The Federal Reserve seems unlikely to cut interest rates further. Job growth is anemic at best. I view Berkshire's cash stockpile as a huge insurance policy. Should the economy and/or the stock market tank, the company's cash provides an unmatched cushion. Berkshire would also be among the best positioned to take advantage of a downturn by using its money to ...
