In trading on Monday, shares of Bristol Myers Squibb were yielding above the 5% mark based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $2.4), with the stock changing hands as low as $47.55 on the day. Dividends are particularly important for investors to consider, because historically speaking dividends have provided a considerable share of the stock market's total return.
BMY's rally from the July 2024 bottom is well deserved, as the market rotated from high growth to high dividend-yielding sectors. This is significantly aided by the pharmaceutical company's robust FQ2'24 performance and raised FY2024 guidance. Readers must not forget the numerous tailwinds from H2'24 to 2026 as BMY increasingly monetizes its in-house/acquired pipelines.
A bear market could be around the corner, but it probably won't stop Bristol Myers Squibb and Royalty Pharma from rapidly raising their dividend payouts. Bristol Myers Squibb has increased its dividend payout by 46% over the past five years.
Bristol-Myers Squibb delivered a significant earnings beat in Q2, driving shares up 20% since spring and boosting sector performance. Despite concerns about long-term EPS, strong Q2 results and improved guidance support a buy rating, with a valuation target near $76. BMY's technical chart shows bullish signals, including a potential golden cross and improved RSI momentum, indicating a favorable trend.

BMY has appreciated 26.56% since July but remains undervalued with a 4.8% yield, trading at less than 8 times 2025 earnings. Q2 earnings validated my thesis with a $680 million revenue beat and a $6.47 swing in non-GAAP EPS, showing strong profitability. Rate cuts will allow BMY to refinance nearly $50 billion in debt, reducing interest expenses and boosting margins.
