Nelson Roberts Investment Advisors’ in their Q3 2020 Investor Letter said that they were able to distinguish a value in Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: GILD) but sold their position in the company.

For the past 3 months, GILD delivered a 2.15% return and settled at $63.33 per share at the closing of January 15th.
Here is what Nelson Roberts Investment Advisors has to say about Gilead Sciences, Inc. in their Investor Letter:
“In the healthcare sector, we sold our position in Gilead (NASDAQ: GILD) as there are no near or medium-term growth drivers for the company. Its popular HIV drug, Truvada, is going off patent this year. Additionally, UnitedHealth Group said it would not cover Gilead’s other HIV drug, Descovy. Lastly, the multiple acquisitions that Gilead has made recently are not ready for prime time, and it will likely be two years or more before any of Gilead’s new drugs have a meaningful impact on revenue.”
