Pharma
companies can be attractive for long-term investors in spite of the volatility.
The ever-rising industry size and healthcare becoming a critical part of life,
investors can make good returns if they invest at the right time. Further,
being an evolving industry, innovation, scientific breakthroughs, and
technological advances bring in exponential growth for many Pharma companies.
Other than
that, investors should look at Pharma stocks which are fundamentally sound with
resilient balance sheets, proven track record of clearance from USFDA issues
and management expertise. The companies should have visibility in growth and
ability to come out stronger from downturns. Factors such as consistent high
return ratios, lower debt to equity ratio, profit margins, R&D expenditure,
drugs at various stages of approval in the pipeline, patents for drugs etc.
should definitely be checked for investing in a pharma company.
