Long-Term Analysis

It is best to consider a long-term outlook for a ticker by using Fundamental Analysis (FA) ratings. The rating of 1 to 100, where 1 is best and 100 is worst, is divided into thirds. The first third (a green rating of 1-33) indicates that the ticker is undervalued; the second third (a grey number between 34 and 66) means that the ticker is valued fairly; and the last third (red number of 67 to 100) reflects that the ticker is undervalued. We use an FA Score to show how many ratings show the ticker to be undervalued (green) or overvalued (red).

NBIX’s FA Score shows that 1 FA rating(s) are green whileVRTX’s FA Score has 0 green FA rating(s), and ZLAB’s FA Score reflects 0 green FA rating(s).

  • NBIX’s FA Score: 1 green, 4 red.
  • VRTX’s FA Score: 0 green, 5 red.

According to our system of comparison, VRTX is a better buy in the long-term than NBIX, which in turn is a better option than ZLAB.

Short-Term Analysis

It is best to consider a short-term outlook for a ticker by using Technical Analysis (TA) indicators. We use Odds of Success as the percentage of outcomes which confirm successful trade signals in the past.

If the Odds of Success (the likelihood of the continuation of a trend) for each indicator are greater than 50%, then the generated signal is confirmed. A green percentage from 90% to 51% indicates that the ticker is in a bullish trend. A red percentage from 90% - 51% indicates that the ticker is in a bearish trend. All grey percentages are below 50% and are considered not to confirm the trend signal.

NBIX’s TA Score shows that 5 TA indicator(s) are bullish while VRTX’s TA Score has 3 bullish TA indicator(s), and ZLAB’s TA Score reflects 4 bullish TA indicator(s).

  • NBIX’s TA Score: 5 bullish, 4 bearish.
  • VRTX’s TA Score: 3 bullish, 5 bearish.
  • ZLAB’s TA Score: 4 bullish, 6 bearish.
According to our system of comparison, NBIX is a better buy in the short-term than VRTX, which in turn is a better option than ZLAB.

Industries' Descriptions

@Pharmaceuticals: Generic (+0.10% weekly)

A generic drug contains the same chemical substance as a drug that was originally protected by patents. Generic drugs are generally sold at cheaper price points, compared to name-brand pharmaceuticals, after patents for the more expensive drugs lapse. The generic drug industry has created a major market, thanks to the lower pricing. According to the Center for Justice and Democracy at New York Law School, 80 percent of all drugs prescribed are generic, and generic drugs are chosen 94 percent of the time when they are available. But their manufacturers must be able to prove to the FDA that they can be effective substitutes for the original drugs. Some of the major generic drug makers include Zoetis, Inc., Allergan plc and Mylan N.V.

@Biotechnology (+2.52% weekly)

Biotechnology involves genetic or protein engineering to produce medicines/therapies for treating and preventing ailments. The industry also provides crucial ingredients for diagnostics. This multi-billion-dollar industry is heavily focused on research and development, as companies attempt to continually come up with cutting-edge solutions for health. New discoveries for the treatment of diseases provide opportunities for growth for a company in this industry. Discoveries, however, must pass the regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before they can make it to markets. Amgen Inc., Gilead Sciences, Inc. and Celgene Corporation are examples of companies in this industry.
