Gilead Sciences:

Over Five Years They Were Really Popular In 2015 But As Of Right Now They’re Kind Of Going Down Institutional Ownership 80% I Do Like That, They Are Making A Lot Of Money From Remdesivir, This Drug Was Approved As An Emergency Treatment In Hospitals. They Originally Created This Drug To Help Fight Against Ebola. Since This Is A Repurposed Drug The Costs Associated With Production Are Very Low. They Recommended A 5-Day Treatment With A Value Of 2300$ The Cost To The Company Per Five-Day Treatment Is 5$. These Numbers Are Rounded To The Nearest Whole Number, However As We See They Are Making Close To 2295$ Per Covid19 Hospital Treatment. Remdesivir Is Approved In Australia, Canada, The European Union, Japan, And The United States.

Merck:

Merck Stock Ticker Mrk. Over The Last Five Years The Stock Price Has Consistently Gone Higher. It Looks As If The All-Time High Was At The Beginning Of 2020.

The Institutional Ownership Is At 75% Which Is A Little Lower Than I Like To See Which Is At 80%.

Moderna:

Moderna Stock Ticker Mrna. If We Analyzed Their Stock Price Over The Last 10 Years Or 5 Years You Will See That They’ve Been Under A $30 Company Until The Beginning Of This Year. What Is Very Interesting About This Company Is Since Inception Which Was 2018 This Company Has Lost 1.5 Billion Dollars And They Lost 500 Million Alone In 2019. In Early 2020 The Ceo Of Moderna Told The President That They Would Be Able To Have A Vaccine For Coronavirus And Since Then Their Stock Has Went From Under $25 To Over $130. The Company Was Awarded Over Four Hundred Million Dollars From Operation Warp Speed To Bring A Solution Or Vaccine To The Market. This Company Does Not Pay A Dividend. Institutional Ownership For This Stock Is Quite Low At 52%. What Concerns Me The Most About This Company Is Days Before The Government Approved Their Coronavirus Vaccine It Is Seen In Their Sec Filings, Many Of The Top Directors Of The Company Sold Their Stock, The Ceo Of The Company In One Transaction Turned $400,000 Into 13 Million Dollars. It Raises The Question If You Believed In Your Company And The Products Why Would You Cash Out At The Beginning Of The Ride. To Me The Only Reason Someone Would Cash Out Millions Of Dollars Is They Are Not A Firm Believer In Their Product Or Their Company And It Sounds Like A Traditional Pump And Dump.
