The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Some factors that might partly contribute to 'why the last few years earnings amounted to nothing':

1) GLP1 agonists prevent the development of diabetes. A large part of Novo's non-GLP1 business is making insulin - 50% of global supply.

2) Higher risk environment for pharma with Trump; e.g. forcing down prices (which happened to Novo), threatening tariffs.

3) Higher bond rates, bigger discount on future earnings perhaps.

4) Possibly Trump's friends front-running this announcement which just came out hours ago:

"Trump administration announces new tariffs on pharmaceuticals "
