BB Biotech recorded a NAV increase of 17.2% in CHF/eur (15.9% in USD) in Q2 and a quarterly profit of CHF 451m versus a loss in the prior year. The portfolio outperformed the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index by 3.5 percentage points, while the stock returned 9.7% and lagged the intrinsic value, with the discount widening to 12.9%. Management accelerated the realignment (12 new additions in the quarter) and increased weightings in large biotech names such as Amgen, Argenx, Vertex and Gilead; about 7% of NAV is held in liquid assets. Additional tailwinds come from recent sector takeovers and a new distribution policy (target yield 3–5%, first payment spring 2027); risks remain from price regulation, interest rates and clinical failures. » Más en finanzen.net
