Analyst Sentiment
Recent analyst actions show mixed sentiment:
Recommendation SELL. Despite positive developments with Cobenfy and strong growth in newer products, the combination of technical weakness, upcoming patent cliffs, and Medicare pricing pressure creates significant headwinds. The stock's current position below key moving averages suggests continued weakness in the near term.
Based on the provided data and references, I'll analyze BMY's price prediction for 2025:
BMY stock is expected to reach $70-75 by end of 2025, representing a potential upside of 25-33% from current levels around $56. This projection is supported by three key factors:
The successful launch of Cobenfy, BMY's novel schizophrenia treatment approved in late 2024, represents the first new pharmacological approach in decades and could become a blockbuster drug, especially with potential expansion into Alzheimer's psychosis indications.
BMY's growth portfolio revenues increased 18% YoY to $5.8 billion in Q3 2024, nearly matching legacy portfolio revenues, indicating successful transition to next-generation products. This momentum should continue through 2025 as newer drugs gain market share.

Based on the provided data and context, I'll analyze whether BMY is overvalued through multiple key aspects:
Valuation Metrics BMY's current EV/EBITDA of 6.88x in Q3 2024 is relatively low compared to the healthcare sector average, suggesting potential undervaluation. The company's P/S ratio of 2.21x and P/B ratio of 6.12x in Q3 2024 also indicate reasonable valuations considering its market position.
Growth & Profitability The company has maintained stable gross margins around 55.7% through 2024, though net margins have fluctuated significantly. Q3 2024 showed a 10.2% net margin, recovering from negative margins earlier in the year, demonstrating operational improvement.

Truist Securities maintains a Strong Buy with a $65 price target (14.3% upside), citing strong execution on launches and momentum through the decade. Jefferies upgraded to Strong Buy with a $70 target (25.5% upside).
Recent Price Movement The stock currently trades around $56, significantly below analyst price targets ranging from $39 to $70, with most analysts seeing upside potential.
Based on these factors, BMY appears undervalued rather than overvalued, supported by reasonable valuation multiples, improving profitability metrics, and positive analyst sentiment with significant upside potential in price targets.

Based on the provided data and references, here's a price prediction analysis for BMY stock in 2030:
BMY stock is projected to reach $85-90 by 2030, driven by three key factors:
The successful commercialization of Cobenfy, BMY's novel schizophrenia treatment approved in late 2024, which analysts expect to become a multi-billion dollar blockbuster drug.
BMY's robust growth portfolio showing 18% YoY revenue increase to $5.8 billion in Q3 2024, demonstrating strong commercial execution in new drug launches.
The company's strategic focus on expanding into high-growth therapeutic areas through acquisitions and pipeline development, particularly in oncology and neuroscience segments.
The main risk to this projection is patent expirations for key drugs like Opdivo and Eliquis in 2028, though BMY is actively working on extending patents and developing next-generation treatments.
