Litigation, Debt, And Decline - Yet Bayer Seems Like A Buy

1. Bayer's stock surged 24.5% since December 2024, yet remains speculative due to significant risks like high debt and ongoing litigation. 2. 2024 annual results showed a 2.2% sales decline, with only free cash flow improving significantly; Pharmaceuticals saw slight growth, while Crop Science and Consumer Health declined. 3. Bayer's 2025 outlook is uncertain, with potential sales growth of 1% at best; management remains optimistic about a turnaround by 2027.

Hims & Hers: Potential Risks Ahead, But Shorting May Be Premature

1. The author anticipates the FDA will soon declare the semaglutide shortage resolved, potentially slowing Hims' revenue growth rate due to compounding restrictions. 2. He foresees explosive revenue growth post-FDA announcement due to 60-day timelines for pharmacies (503A) and 90-day timelines for outsourcing facilities (503B) to comply with the restrictions. 3. The author believes HIMS may leverage FDA compounding exemptions to further extend its compounded GLP-1 offerings, creating uncertainty for speculators betting against the stock. 4. The author rates Hims as a 'Hold' due to limited upside for a long position and too much uncertainty to justify initiating a short position at this time.

Eli Lilly: Still Much Room To Ride The Weight-Loss Wave

1. Eli Lilly's GLP-1 market dominance is supported by superior efficacy and strong manufacturing investments, positioning it as a leader alongside Novo Nordisk with forecasted revenue growth to $75B by 2027. 2. A conservative valuation model estimates Eli Lilly's stock to achieve a 25% CAGR over two years, with a fair price target of $1,200 by January 2027. 3. Key risks include competition from emerging GLP-1 drugmakers and potential delays or setbacks in next-gen oral GLP-1 drugs like Orforglipron, but the stock's 25% margin of safety underpins my rating.
