Ark Still Accumulating Novartis – Live Trading News

#Novartis’s pipeline is deep and should give potential investors an idea of the timeline required for development of a drug for commercialization.

The company recently won a battle related to patent protection for its MS drug Gilenya. The drug generated $738 million in revenue in Q2, and the judgment protects it from generic competition through 2027.

Another reason to consider investing in pharmaceutical stocks is that they tend to pay dividends. Because Novartis is a Swiss company, it only pays an annual dividend. Depending on the jurisdiction this can be advantageous for tax purposes. 

Novartis is harnessing the advances in analytics and has developed its own platform called Nerve Live.

Short-term traders should pay closer attention to buy/sell arrows while intermediate/long-term traders should place greater emphasis on the bullish or bearish trend reflected in the lower ribbon.
