Buffett-Fit: 78/100
What drives this industry
Pharma quality is measured by pipeline depth + patent-cliff distance + capital allocation history. Mega-cap pharma (Pfizer, Merck, Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, AbbVie) trade more like dividend compounders than growth stocks, slow but predictable, with periodic blockbuster windfalls.
