About: Viatris was formed in November 2020 through the combination of Upjohn, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer that specialized in off-patent drugs, and Mylan, a global pharmaceutical manufacturer that focused on generic and specialty drugs. By joining forces, Viatris became one of the largest generic drug manufacturers in the world, servicing over 165 countries. Generics (commoditized and complex) and biosimilars make up roughly 40% of Viatris' total sales. Remaining 60% of sales is derived from its portfolio of legacy products which includes Lipitor, Norvasc, Lyrica, and Viagra. While it covers more than 10 major therapeutic areas, Viatris has identified dermatology, ophthalmology, and gastroenterology as its three key areas of focus for future innovations.

Viatris: A Contrarian Bet With Virtually No Downside
Viatris has aggressively deleveraged, now poised for growth with a robust pipeline and global presence in key markets like the US, India, and China. The company's balance sheet is much improved, dividend yield is attractive at 5.26%, and valuation is extremely low versus sector peers. Upcoming FDA approvals and 11 key pipeline assets could drive rapid earnings growth and a major stock price re-rating toward $20 per share.

Dogs Of The S&P 500: 14 Ideal 'Safer' July Dividend Buys
High-yield S&P 500 stocks can be risky, but 14 "safer" S&P 500 dividend dogs have strong free cash flow to support payouts and are attractive buys. Analyst forecasts suggest top ten S&P 500 dividend dogs could deliver 27% to 53% net gains by July 2026, with lower-than-market volatility. A market correction could make more high-yield stocks fairly priced; currently, only a select few meet the 'dogcatcher' ideal of yield from $1K invested exceeding share price.
