In the said letter, Generation PMCA highlighted a few stocks and Sanofi (NASDAQ:SNY) is one of them. Sanofi (NASDAQ:SNY) is a pharmaceutical company. Year-to-date, Sanofi (NASDAQ:SNY) stock gained 0.6% and on November 20th it had a closing price of $50.52. Here is what Generation PMCA said:
“Sanofi, the French pharmaceutical company, is one of the largest drug companies globally. Last year Sanofi unveiled its “Play to Win” strategy, focused on reigniting growth, accelerating R&D, and improving profitability via operating efficiencies. A cornerstone of this new strategy is Dupixent, the first biologic approved to treat patients with atopic dermatitis whose disease cannot be controlled with a topical prescription. In Q3, Dupixent reached €1 billion in revenue. The company believes this drug can ultimately generate over €10 billion of annual revenue. Over the next 5 years we see Sanofi’s vaccine business growing mid-to-high digits on the launch of key influenza and PPH vaccines. As with Bristol Myers, the main risk relates to drug development. We are comfortable with its robust pipeline, with over 6 major therapeutics in development, and expect further growth from acquisitions. Our FMV estimate is €105 and the stock yields 3.7% while we wait for the share price to appreciate.”
In Q2 2020, the number of bullish hedge fund positions on Sanofi (NASDAQ:SNY) stock increased by about 60% from the previous quarter (see the chart here), so a number of other hedge fund managers believe in Sanofi’s growth potential. Our calculations showed that Sanofi (NASDAQ:SNY) isn’t ranked among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds.
