...or Make Your Own Non-Consensus Decision

However, we believe that there is a better way to make stock selection decisions, and this Wiki is dedicated to this technique.

The better way – which is taught to all MBA students, and used by professional investors – is not easy. But it is one of the few investment techniques that actually does work. The better way requires you to find errors in the consensus forecasts of revenue and EPS.

Until the creation of this Wiki, it has been virtually impossible for an individual investor to develop accurate non consensus revenue and earnings forecasts because no one individual has had enough information to accurately out-forecast the Wall Street analysts.

However, by using the Wiki to pool together the collaborative intelligence of large numbers of individuals who are familiar with the MEDICAL-DRUGS Industry, with PHARMAXIS LTD, and with its suppliers and customers, we as a group do have a realistic chance of finding that nugget of accurate non-consensus information.

Warren Buffett finds these nuggets. This Wiki can help you find your own nuggets.

But this process can only work for those companies and industries with which you are very familiar. To apply this process to PHARMAXIS LTD, you need to focus on 2 questions:
  • Do I agree with the consensus estimate of the future revenue of PHARMAXIS LTD?
  • Do I agree with the consensus estimates of the EPS of PHARMAXIS LTD?

Dividend Discount Model for PHARMAXIS LTD

The two major techniques used by fundamental analysts to evaluate the value of a stock are the relative valuation metrics such as PE discussed above and the dividend discount model (DDM) or discounted cash flow model (DCF).

More information about these valuation-related topics is available here.

This reference answers most of the questions investors have when they first encounter these discount approaches to determining value, such as:

  1. What is the discount rate?
  2. Why does the DDM discount earnings and not dividends?
  3. How can I use a DDM if the company does not pay dividends?
  4. How do I set the terminal value? (applies only to DCF)
  5. How do I calculate cash flow to use the DCF model?

Industry Analysis


Industry Outlook for Major MEDICAL-DRUGS Companies

adad sad sad sa
Medical continues to be the leading sector in terms of positive earnings estimate revisions. The comparatively low level of economic sensitivity is a big factor for why the sector ranks so well.

Multiple companies within the sector have reported good third-quarter earnings and raised guidance. These bullish events have led to positive earnings estimate revisions by brokerage analysts. They have also allowed Medical-Biomedical/Genetics and Medical-Generic Drugs to be among the best ranked industry groups.

Investors who are interested in both groups should note that company stories matter more than in other groups. The reason is that drug approval and drug safety issues are factors that can significantly influence a stock's price. Therefore, a greater focus on company selection is required than in other industry groups.
 
President Obama intends to allow the federal government to negotiate on drug prices, he also wants universal coverage. It is possible that drug companies could end up seeing a greater amount of business, albeit at lower margins.
