PPH: Global Pharma Stocks Continue To Face Headwinds, Tariffs Front And Center
I maintain a hold rating on PPH due to attractive valuation but weak technical momentum and underperformance versus the S&P 500. Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson, PPH's largest holdings, are facing unique challenges, impacting the ETF's overall performance and outlook. Despite a low P/E ratio and solid dividend yield, PPH's concentrated portfolio and poor price action warrant caution for now.

PPH: Will Overcome Tariffs, But Competitor Funds Look Stronger
VanEck Pharmaceutical ETF holds a mixed outlook due to high fees and tariff risks, warranting a hold rating despite strong top holdings. PPH's top holdings like Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson have diversified revenue streams and U.S. manufacturing investments, mitigating tariff impacts.
