The 7 Best Biotech Stocks for Investors Who Hate Risk
Most of the buy-and-hold crowd tends to steer clear of biotech stocks, and for good reason. Biotechnology companies can be uncomfortably risky. Far too many horror stories of failed drug trials or the expiration of a crucial patent leading to massive stock plunges have circulated for years now, souring would-be buyers on the entire industry. However, conclusions based on a handful of biotech stocks may have erroneously prevented investors from plugging into a perfectly reasonable risk-reward relationship. Said differently: Not all biotech stocks turn into disasters. The industry as a group is up nearly 70% for the past five years, proving many of these companies can reward patient shareholders who choose wisely. It's simply a matter of doing your homework and having a little common sense. Here are seven biotech stocks that aren't nearly as risky as their typical peer. Thus, they may have a place in more risk-averse portfolios than most investors might presume. SEE ALSO: The 25 Best Stocks to Buy (According to Hedge Funds)

Teva stock surges 7% after FDA approves migraine medication
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. shares surged nearly 7% in Monday premarket trade after the company's migraine therapy, intended to prevent chronic attacks of head pain along with other severe, disabling symptoms, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The therapy, Ajovy, is administered as an injection, using a prefilled syringe, and can be dosed on a quarterly or monthly basis. The monthly dose will cost $575 per dose and the quarterly dose will cost $1,725, Teva said, meaning the product's total yearly cost will be about $6,900 per year irrespective of dose. The pricing figures released by Teva refer to the therapy's wholesale acquisition cost, or the price a drugmaker offers wholesalers, from which discounts are typically taken. About 38 million Americans, or 12% of the population, experience migraines, and though the treatment landscape has been sparse so far, it is poised to become increasingly competitive. Another preventative therapy, from Amgen Inc. and Novartis AG [S: nvs] was approved by the FDA in May, and the companies cited the same price tag, or $6,900. A FDA decision for another drug in this class, from Eli Lilly & Co. , is expected in the near future as well. For the beleaguered Teva, the new approval is a "clear positive," said J.P. Morgan analyst Chris Schott, though he noted "the highly competitive dynamics in the space with Amgen, Teva and Lilly all launching within six months of each other and with relatively limited differentiation among agents." Schott expects Teva's migraine therapy could sell about $150 million next year and as much as $600 million by 2022; even so, he sees "few growth drivers or pipeline assets beyond Ajovy" given generic competition for the company's flagship multiple sclerosis medication and challenging conditions for generic drugs. Shares of the U.S.-listed Teva have surged 20.6% year-to-date, while the S&P 500 has risen 8.7% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has lifted 5.8%.
