ABBV - Letting it Come in for a Better EntryOne of my absolute favorite stocks for the next 3 years: ABBV. I'm letting it come down a bit before initiating a position. My model says that there is going to be heavy buying between 74 and 79 which is where I will start accumulation.

ABBV trade ideas
Dip buy with a coronaThe Beijing branch of China’s National Health Commission said a combination of lopinavir and ritonavir, sold under the brand name Kaletra by AbbVie, is part of its latest treatment plan for patients infected by the Coronavirus, which has killed at 81 people in China and sickened more than 2,800 worldwide.
After breaking out of the downtrend, ABBV is coming back to retest the channel, support area and weekly 50 moving average.
In terms of valuation, ABBV is currently trading at a Forward P/E ratio of 9. For comparison, its industry has an average Forward P/E of 15.48, which means ABBV is trading at a discount to the group.
ABBV will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release, which is expected to be February 7, 2020. In that report, analysts expect ABBV to post earnings of $2.20 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 15.79%
ABBV should soon find support for a bounceAbbvie has been falling hard on news that it will sell off some drug patents in order to win approval for its merger with Allergan. It is entering a support zone between about $77 and $81, however, and it may start to climb from here as investors start to get excited about the merger. Also look for Coronavirus news to move the stock; word on the street is that one of Abbvie's drugs is being used off-label to treat Coronavirus patients.
With a 5.67% dividend yield and a forward P/E under 10, ABBV looks attractively valued. True, the patent sales will probably negatively affect that forward P/E, and the merger might ultimately result in a lower dividend yield. But Abbvie will also pocket a bunch of cash from those drug sales that can be used to grow its pipeline, and Allergan's forward P/E is also low, with plenty of potential upside.
Abbvie Inc set for revenue boost Shipments underway to China in the hope that the Coronavirus can be tackled by Abbvie's range of Antiviral drugs.
Deep retrace had completed as has a bullish golden cross.
The chart is not exactly bullish but fundamentals may dictate the next move.
Above the 50 day moving average is a possible point of entry

ABBVIE bullish on new DealZURICH (Reuters) - U.S. drugmaker AbbVie's $63 billion tie-up with Allergan is getting help from Nestle and AstraZeneca buying up products the Irish-domiciled company is shedding to placate regulators.
AbbVie is swallowing Allergan to give it control of the lucrative wrinkle treatment Botox and to diversify a portfolio heavily dependent on its $19-billion-per-year arthritis drug Humira, the world's best-selling medicine that is advancing toward U.S. patent expiration.
Swiss food group Nestle bulked up its medical nutrition business with Allergan's Zenpep, a product with 2018 sales of $237 million which treats people whose pancreases do not provide enough enzymes to digest fats, proteins and sugars.
Nestle did not give financial details, but analysts from Zuercher Kantonalbank estimated the takeover could have cost the Vevey, Switzerland-based company more than $1 billion.
Meanwhile, AstraZeneca is regaining rights to brazikumab, Allergan's experimental drug against Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis. The European Commission said this month the immunology medicine must be divested because of the risk its development would be halted after AbbVie's takeover because of competing medicines.
"These definitive agreements represent significant progress toward the completion of our acquisition of Allergan," Richard Gonzalez, AbbVie's chairman and chief executive, said.
With regulators wary of the deal's anti-competitive potential, rivals are getting a chance to stock their own product shelves.
Nestle Chief Executive Mark Schneider, who also gets Allergan's Viokace, another pancreatic enzyme product, in Monday's deal, is bulking up on nutrition products that combine properties of medicine and food as the Swiss company expands in areas where growth may outpace its mainstream food business.
"This is a significant opportunity for our business in the United States," Greg Behar, head of Nestle Health Science, said in a statement.
AstraZeneca's pact for brazikumab marks a return of the inflammation medicine to the British drugmaker's portfolio. In 2016, Astra had struck a licensing deal with Allergan worth up to $1.5 billion for the medicine.
With its return to AstraZeneca, Allergan has agreed to fund development costs for brazikumab in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, including the creation of a companion diagnostic, AstraZeneca said in a separate statement.
"This agreement creates an opportunity for us to complete the full development program and bring this potential new treatment option to patients as quickly as possible," Mene Pangalos, Astra's biopharmaceuticals research head.
Even if Allergan must foot the development bill, analysts appeared underwhelmed, in part because AbbVie's Skyrizi, or risankizumab, a similar medicine, has a head start.
"This could be another autoimmune product to add to Astra's portfolio, although it will be somewhat late to the market," Liberum's Alistair Campbell wrote in a note to investors.

ABBV remains a strong investment even after its recent runAbbvie has been surging lately after a bullish trend line break, but it remains undervalued at the current price. The analyst summary score for Abbvie is 9.6/10, and the average analyst price target is $92 per share. Personally, I think Abbvie's strong earnings forecast and 5.5% dividend yield justifies $100 per share. Call volume in Abbvie is very bullish today after its cancer drug Imbruvica beat a rival cancer drug in a clinical trial.
ABBV FB2Far distant test,Reaching a strong mirror lvl ,penetration with a paranormal bar, closing above lvl, if will open above lvl and will move down, entering buy stp lmt order . Waiting for a false break with 2 bars formation.
Early, i thought there was a lvl , but the stock didn`t stop there, so i see reasonable,to short it from this point
After a brutal 17 months, things looking up for ABBVReally nice reversal in ABBV over the past 2+ months. Rose through descending channel resistance AND ascending trendline resistance, then re-tested support and took off.
It's probably due for a breather, but I'd be a buyer if it re-tests support once more around $74.
ABBV looking to continue it's upside crawlIn full disclosure I have an open position in this name and will look to add another position on break over the 200 MA. As you can see I've drawn in a pennant that just broke to the upside today, 10/17.
I'd keep a tight stop on a new entry at $72.80 at first, then after it's a few $$ in profit I'd trail it with the 200 MA. I'll treat any addition to my position as a completely new trade. A word of additional caution, there was a gap not yet filled back in June. This could act as additional resistance.
I have a core position for the dividend which at this point is worth a 5.7% yield (my cost basis in the core position is much lower so my yield is about 6.5%). I'll wait for this stock to recover into the $100 range. (Too much info, LOL) Target on this trade $82.00. Ideas, not trading advice.
