Buffett-Fit: 81/100
Biotechnology is the highest-variance industry in healthcare. Patent expirations are scheduled value destruction; FDA approvals are binary risk. The Buffett-Fit framework favours commercial-stage biotechs with sustained positive net income + clear pipeline depth - typically large-cap names rather than pre-revenue clinical-stage companies. Avoid the average; chase the winners.
