Pfizer and Gilead score new indications; Guardant Health surges on analyst upgrade amid colon cancer screening momentum.

Big Pharma & Biotech

Bullish
PFEGILDLLYJNJ
Pfizer ($PFE) received FDA approval on June 24 for $PFE's Ibrance in combination with trastuzumab as a maintenance option for patients with HR-positive, HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer after induction treatment.
Gilead Sciences ($GILD) announced June 25 FDA approval for Trodelvy as a first-line treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, marking the first antibody-drug conjugate approved for this indication; Trodelvy is now approved as a single agent or in combination with Keytruda.
Eli Lilly ($LLY) climbed to new record highs in the final week of June, driven by strong sales of its weight-loss drugs, while the company agreed on June 30 to hand a Chinese partner full rights to a cancer drug in its second-largest market.
Johnson & Johnson ($JNJ) presented new real-world and clinical data on IMAAVY (nipocalimab-aahu) for generalized myasthenia gravis at the European Academy of Neurology Congress, highlighting improved outcomes in patients treated earlier in their disease course and sustained symptom control even after common infections.

MedTech & Diagnostics

Bullish
GHDXCM
Guardant Health ($GH) investors received positive news as Bernstein SocGen Group raised its price target on the cancer-screening company's stock to $200 a share, up from $175, while maintaining its Outperform rating.
DexCom ($DXCM) fits the Growth at a Reasonable Price (GARP) strategy, offering strong earnings growth, reasonable valuation, and solid financial health as an affordable growth stock, according to ChartMill analysis. The diagnostics and continuous glucose monitoring segments continue to attract investor interest amid growing demand for non-invasive screening and monitoring technologies.

Health Insurance & Managed Care

Neutral
UNH
UnitedHealth ($UNH) is trading near its 52-week high, indicating investor confidence, business improvements, or favorable market conditions.
$UNH posted a higher net income margin last quarter compared to CVS Health, while both companies saw their revenue growth pause after a long expansion. The managed care leader continues to attract attention from investors seeking exposure to the health insurance segment despite headwinds affecting revenue growth across major healthcare services companies.

Dividend & Value Plays

Neutral
BMYJNJ
Bristol Myers Squibb ($BMY) offers a 4.3% dividend yield that looks attractive for income investors, though the position comes with some risk according to recent analysis.
Johnson & Johnson ($JNJ) hit its 52-week high last week, as investors continued to pump money into select companies backed by business developments rather than broad market trends. The dividend-focused segment of big pharma continues to draw interest from income-oriented investors navigating patent cliff concerns and pipeline uncertainty.
