Analysis of: Are Big Pharma's Dollar Days Nearly Over? | seekingalpha.com
Author: GLG Expert Contributor
The PFE problem is that until science does deliver, the necessary catalyst is lacking. And after 10 years, repair is going to take time. My view is that there is a strong case for major pharma, even if science is slow in delivery. The valuations and yield is great; and the growth potential enormous - the twin intangibles R&D & supply chain (marketing) can and will deliver.  It is not...
