They likely tried already behind closed doors (offered 10B for MTSR, which is VERY inferior to VKTX and a lot further behind). However VKTX's management probably is asking for 25-40B in a buyout scenario (which is a huge premium on today's share price, but is what the company would be worth for VK2735). So it's a lot in the look of it. If you do a buyout for a 1200% premium, maybe the shareholders (who aren't necessarily knowledgeable in bio data) will not be happy. That's the only reason. You are right, I am extremely bullish on VKTX, see my last WSB DD on my profile for more info. I will also become extremely bullish towards the company that acquires or partners with VKTX and will buy a large position. This is because NVO/ABBV/MRK have a really good supply chain and marketing, they are just lacking a good product.

Obligatory fuck ABBV

KingOfTheQuails

Personally I have significant long positions in TARS, NBIX and ABBV (although note I’ve been in these over a year and am not adding at these levels). I also hold SRPT and QURE. SRPT I also bought near book value when it was in the 13s QURE is a good example of biotech. Everything looked good and they were aligned with FDA on the trial design. Then last minute FDA reversed course and it’s now down 50% from my cost basis. But I sized accordingly given the historical control uncertainty so the damage isn’t too bad…

For me it’s Verizon. It’s not a super exciting stock and it’s not a stock that is going to see some double digit growth at any point. But that being said, it is trading at forward PE of 8, has a dividend yield of 7% at 60% payout ratio. It is a boring stock and I think a lot of people have been selling those types of stocks to chase the Palantirs and the Teslas around. Bought UPS recently for the same reason and have been up 30% in a couple months just based on valuation alone. Bought ABBV a while ago for the same reason and have been up 200% since, with a locked in dividend yield of 6%+.

Dromon1

When I first started investing, I was ignorantly looking at dividend yields instead of…anything else. I found ABBV at $82 with a 4 or 5% yield I think? Bought like 20 shares. Best uninformed decision in stocks I made.

Revfunky

That’s too far to extrapolate any reasonable data. While possible, it is not probable I would hold a trade 20 years. I have had ABBV since 2016. I held IEP for a decade. BRKB has stood the test of time. EQR based on the late great Sam Zell would have worked. The farther out we go the harder to predict based on current data. And from where I sit we are looking to take every advantage we to optimize a winning trade.

I rarely hold a stock that long. Most people don’t hold a stock that long. We can’t prognosticate that far into the future. More importantly, what is your exit strategy? Without a strategy you are just a seal swimming amongst the sharks. Will you freak out if one stocks drops 50%? I already know the answer yet it begs the question. Are you doing any Fundamental Analysis? Technical Analysis? I don’t care for your picks, no disrespect. Your question is more complicated than you may think. I will play my part lest it be said I’m a curmudgeon. BRKB- buy the dips EQR- buy the dips CTRE COPY- buy the dips ABBV PSHZF CRSP- buy the dips until 2030 MKL This is what I have that I could reasonably conceive one may own ten years from now. I added CRSP for future potential rather than Fundamental or TA. Not my best work but what can you expect for free.

I like NET the best of this list. I’m seeing a whole lot of tech and the money is flowing into value as we revert to the means. The sectors hit the hardest this year have been oil and healthcare. I suspect they both outperform next year and I have been buying both. I am of the mindset you build a portfolio brick by brick. I said ABBV was a buy in 2016 and it’s a buy in 2026. I like BMY using a 25% trailing stop. Just as important is a strategy. Without a strategy you are just another bloke lost in the ocean of sharks. You should know your exit before you buy. Are you holding for decades? Buying the dips? Using a trailing stop? What allocation are you using? Savvy investors know the answers to these questions. *Be very wary of Reddit. Those that know what they are doing have little time to spend here, this you are left with the flotsam and jetsam.*

Ready_Piano1222

I've moved a portion of my investments to cash, or cash equivalents. My gut feeling is that the AI bandwagon is going to crash badly, and take the rest of the market with it. I'm investing in Healthcare stocks, like ABBV, COR, and also FPHAX since people don't stop getting sick. Also, consumer staples like WMT, CPB, COST (even though their P/E concerns me), and VDC.

Doesn't sound correct. Say his earned income is $20K, he could (and should) be able to take up to $24,625 in long term cap gains, combined with any qualified dividends tax free. I harvested 200% gains in ABBV tax free and repurchased the stock the next day $3 cheaper(g).

I spent some time on small cap biotech in early 2025 and concluded financial disclosures alone aren't enough to buy. Most have no earnings and are just looking for the next hot drug. It seems like you need to know their patent application pipeline - which is a lot of work and still very difficult to make value calls on unless you also have some idea of the patent universe for that class of chemicals. (Ph.D. in the space with a J.D. btw) Did buy a couple closer to mid caps - OGN (fortunately exited in early Oct but still see a value story) and VTRS. Also like the larger caps like AMGN and ABBV.

Hi, how are ya? I do all of my investing research and due diligence myself and my brokerage account is currently with Fidelity. Off the top of my head, CROX and ABBV are two stocks currently trading below their intrinsic value, based on their projected future free cash flow. There are many great investment web sites to learn from, including Seeking Alpha, The Motley Fool and Zacks. As far as the best investment companies, choose one that has the lowest fees involved, especially if you know how to do your own stock research. If you have more questions, feel free to ask. ☺️

gigi_is_the_name

ABBV’s earnings showed mixed but good results + raised its guidance for next year - The stock plummeted 4% afterwards and I bought it at a discount thinking its a good stock and that the market judges too swiftly and it must go up again. What do you guys think ?

ra__account

> They only keep going up The market for the past decade, other than the Covid dip, has gone up. > the price of companies don't necessarily go down all that much Yes, if the overall market is going up, you don't see the value of high dividend stocks going down all that much. However . . Other than ABBV, the other stocks you mentioned have badly underperformed the index. And most pharm companies, even established ones, are gambles.

seraphimkoamugi

Not entirely sure how the whole: "it goes down when the dividends are paid" works since I invest on ETFS right now, Dividend & Growth etfs, but the price of companies don't necessarily go down all that much or if they do it might be for a week or so. Just basing this on stocks like JNJ, PG, PEP and ABBV. They only keep going up and they pay $1/share per dividend payout and their stocks don't necessarily go down one dollar for long. I do have reservations investing on anything thats on the red during their 5 year to MAX tenure graphs. Though if I'm incorrect I'd appreciate a clarification since that could help with deciding better company stocks.

Patient-Being7155

I have been investing in the stock market for about 30 years and as you can imagine, I have accumulated many shares of stocks. I have mainly bought and held Dividend Aristocrats. Some of my big stock positions include ABBV(3700 shares), MCD(2550 shares) MO(7400 shares). I have begun selling covered calls on the stocks that I own. If my stocks were to be assigned, I would be subjected to hefty capital gains taxes. So, I have written covered calls that are out of the money with about 2-4 weeks time to expiration., to lower my risk of getting assigned. The premiums are anemic but my goal is to earn about $1,000 every two weeks on my positions. Am I expecting too much? Is my strategy correct?

Why does ABBV go crazy in the premarket? Today especially? It seems like it goes up x% then draws back to a little bit above baseline every day

MIA3D

ALGN is a monopoly all competitors are cooked. It’s the reason I invested heavily into ABBV the moment they bought allergen. People will spend on their teeth. Plus they have a new state of the art scanner orthos will be forced to use. Also they were hit with 30% tariffs from Mexico, which will fade if not they are priced in. Nice catalyst. Easy 2-3x within 5 years it’s a gift. Hit it with size myself. It’s right at my average here. Gift of an entry.

Rude_Masterpiece_239

Yeah, sure (sorry, this is a bit of a rambling rant, but gives you a little look inside my controlled chaos). The common theme is really simple, find wonderful companies and just keep buying them at decent value points and holding more and more over long periods of time. Before I started investing I tore through a bunch of books. I started following companies and engaging daily. Researching companies, jumping on earnings calls, looking over financials. I learned the foundational aspects of the art of valuation. The book that struck me the most was One up on Wall Street. We run into incredible companies all over in everyday life, keep your eyes open and you'll see them. That gives you a great spot to start your research. When you find good ones buy, get to know them better and if you're right buy more. Then buy some more and keep buying. And if you're wrong cut bait and move on quickly. IMO, reading and learning is lost on too many coming into investing today. If you don't want to learn and don't enjoy learning about the details of how a business functions you shouldn't be investing in equities. If you enjoy that as a hobby and want to use your time to do those activities, equity investing may be for you. This led me to buy Apple in 2008, Activision in 2009. Netflix and Google in 2011. Costco in 2012. Casey's General Store in 2012. Tesla in 2013 (although I'll still argue this was a stupid move by me as the financials were scary). NVDA in 2017. MELI in 2020. It also led me to others at great value points too like OKE and ABBV and NTDOY and 6016.T and KNSL. All solid, well run companies with a level of pricing power and some special sauce. And I don't really sell, if it's working I look for spots to add more. Also, I slowly built a cash allocation plan. I never invest just b/c I have money. I stack money until I high conviction idea. And I don't just buy once, I generally aim to build a position out over time, getting to know a company better and better and building knowledge and conviction...or not and then I cut bait. That may lead to long periods where I'm sitting on cash equivalents (like SGOV and some select Munis and high quality Bonds right now). But then when I see value I generally go crazy. Example, in 2018/19 I was building a few positions (like NVDA) but largely building cash as I didn't have any great ideas. I was still buying small tranches of my favorite companies, but in small increments (I'll be a net buyer of equities until I die). Then when 2020 hit valuations were massively attractive so I went crazy. I made about 100 buys between Feb and August. Did the same in April of this year...over a 2 week period I deployed a massive pile of cash. When the market provides attractive valuations, I always have cash ready to go. I'll never deploy 100% of my cash and new money always goes immediately to cash holdings. Options -- My thoughts are simple...if valuations are stretched and you're ok moving on from some shares, sell covered calls. If valuations are low and you would like to take on some shares at specific price points, sell puts. Around 2013 I picked up Options as a Strategic Investment (the options bible IMO). I don't necessarily aim to TRADE, but to use options as part of my long term buy and hold strategy. That leads to me SELLING a ton of options, but buying very very few. In April of this year I sold a ton of puts at prices I wanted to add shares. I'm generally very conservative here so the only equity I took on was HIMS in the 25-30 range (below my fair value range by a fair %). The others just added cash to the cash pile. Google is a good example. I was selling puts in the 120-135 range, but I was also buying a little in the 150-170 range. Recently I've been selling a lot of HIMS (overvalued from my 33-37 fair value range), NVDA (I never rebalance to rebalance but this position is extreme and above my 130-142 fair value range) and AAPL (above my 180ish fair value range) covered calls. I've also been selling CRM puts in a conservative 205-220 range (just above my 197 bear case and below my 225-250 fair value range). I don't recommend options for most, but if you really have a good feel for valuations you can use them strategically to get in and out of positions and drive additional cash to invest.

UnconcernedConcerner

I have to agree that having SCHG and VOO is pointless after reading my own comment about growth over 5 years. Makes no sense. I'd consider selling SCHG to take more concentrated positions in MSFT, NVDA, UNH, ABBV, and GOOG but if we're talking ASTS, PLTR, and HOOD growth type stocks then I don't have the dry powder for that. I don't even know which companies have that potential right now. Either way, I was looking at the fees, which are on top of commission, and it's not worth it to get a managed fund. Some fund managers absolutely kill it, but they're not hanging around my price point.

RSG, ABBV, WMT Fund-wise BRW (Saba Capital Income & Opportunities Fund) is an interesting CEF that has done pretty well since Saba Capital took it over and changed the fund entirely in 2021. It lost 4% in 2022 when the market was tanking and lost comparatively less than the market when the market was tanking in 2025, yet has also done pretty well when the market has.

If this amount of yours in a tax-privileged account (IRA, 401k), you can move the funds in a 3-tier layout: 33% bonds, 34% divident-paying safe stocks (ABBV, etc) and 33% in etfs (VOO, SCHD, VTI).

The fact that $VKTX can offer potential oral and monthly maintenance after SC with the same molecule is not to be underestimated. Even $LLy does not have that. It is uncertain how people will react when switching from TP to orfoglipron.. large pharma eyes on that as almost everyone there is talking about need for solutions for long-term adherence beyond 1-2 years. Listen to $ABBV $PFE and others. Don’t believe $NVO semaglutide is competitive with that Viking only needs to show that small dose oral has any activity in phase 2 in a few weeks

NefariousnessFew2919

Looking for opinions on ABBV—saw a stair-step pattern and took a $10K position Noticed ABBV has been climbing in a stair-step pattern—slow grind up, then tight sideways moves. Looks like classic institutional accumulation. Vanguard and BlackRock have increased their positions recently, while some banks are selling off. Between the \~3.6% dividend and their recent M&A push into oncology and neuroscience, I saw a decent entry point and put $10K in. Curious what others think—am I seeing strength or stepping into a value trap?
