Opportunity for big gains is gone
Technically, of course, you could buy shares of Celgene right up to the point that the acquisition by BMS closes. However, the reality is that the opportunity for big gains is probably gone.
An important extra
Investors do have another reason to buy Celgene stock now, though, regardless of what happens with Bristol-Myers Squibb's share price. There was a sweetener thrown into the acquisition deal. Celgene shareholders will also receive one tradeable contingent value right (CVR) for each Celgene share they own.
Life after Celgene
Perhaps the most compelling reason why it's not too late to buy Celgene stock now is what could be in store for Bristol-Myers Squibb after the Celgene acquisition closes. BMS already claims two blockbuster drugs -- Opdivo and Eliquis -- that will likely rank among the top five best-selling drugs in the world over the next several years.
Here's why Celgene stock is a keeper
Celgene ( CELG ) stock has been in my investment portfolio since 2013. I've enjoyed a couple of great years with the biotech stock performing really well. Over the past couple of years, though, Celgene hasn't generated high returns.
1. Domination in blood cancer indications
When it comes to several blood cancer indications, no other company comes close to matching Celgene's market position. The biotech's immunomodulatory imide (iMiD) drugs, particularly Revlimid and Pomalyst, are leading treatments for multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). In addition, Celgene's Vidaza is used to treat MDS.
NASDAQ: CELG
What about potential challengers? Johnson & Johnson 's ( JNJ -1.07% ) Darzalex is probably the most significant potential rival. Right now, though, J&J's drug is approved only in combination with other drugs in treating multiple myeloma, one of which is Revlimid. In a few years, Darzalex could be a greater threat.
2. Research and development ecosystem
Celgene doesn't just have a research and development team, it has an R&D ecosystem. The biotech is working on developing plenty of drugs on its own, but it has teamed up with many other companies as well. The following chart shows just how extensive this ecosystem is.
3. Wise use of capital
Celgene generated a solid free cash flow of more than $3 billion in the past 12 months. The company had nearly $8.9 billion in cash (including cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities) at its disposal at the end of the first quarter of 2017. But it's how Celgene uses its capital that makes the stock one to hold for the long term.
Never say never?
Never is a strong word. Even legendary investor Warren Buffett, who firmly subscribes to the concept of buying and holding for the long run, sells some of his stock holdings when conditions change.
