Investment Highlights
Why It Matters
Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?
1. Generates cash flow
The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.
2. Riding a trend
Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Qualitative Assessment
AI Generated Analysis | Feedback
1. Expanded FDA Approval for Breyanzi: In early December 2025, Bristol Myers Squibb received U.S. FDA approval for Breyanzi (lisocabtagene maraleucel) to treat adults with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) after at least two prior systemic therapies. This approval meaningfully broadened Breyanzi's eligible U.S. patient pool and reinforced the company's position in commercial cell therapy.
2. Positive Data at ASH 2025 for Lymphoma Therapies: At the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in early December 2025, Bristol Myers Squibb presented new research demonstrating significant advancements in lymphoma treatment. Highlights included updates on their targeted protein degradation pipeline, such as data on the investigational CELMoD™ agent golcadomide and the BCL6 ligand-directed degrader BMS-986458, as well as long-term results for Breyanzi from Phase 3 TRANSFORM and Phase 2 TRANSCEND FL trials, which showed deep, durable responses and promising progression-free survival.
