Tariffs Gonna Wreck Your Medicine Cabinet! Are Your Pills About to Cost More Than My Bar Tab?!

Freakin' Tariffs Man!

Alright alright settle down you bunch of Stewies! Peter Griffin here your resident expert on everything from inappropriate jokes to… well mostly inappropriate jokes. But today folks we're talking about something serious. Sort of. It's about tariffs. Those pesky things that make your medicine cost more. Like what the deuce?! I need my medicine! Specifically my medicine for… uh… you know… the thing. Anyway some Wall Street wizards – probably wearing those pointy hats – are saying Trump's tariff idea could be a real pain in the butt for companies like Bristol Myers Squibb. And guess who ends up paying? That's right the everyman! The Joe Sixpack! The guy who just wants to watch TV and eat chicken wings without having to sell a kidney for his heart medication!

The Supply Chain Is a Real Life Giant Chicken Fight!

Apparently the whole medicine making process is more complicated than Lois trying to explain quantum physics to me. It involves something called a "global supply chain." Sounds like a bunch of chickens fighting over who gets to lay the next egg doesn't it? And these analysts are saying that if Trump slaps tariffs on imported drugs it's gonna raise prices. Even if companies try to move production back to the U.S. it'll take forever and cost a fortune. Remember that time I tried to build a rollercoaster in my backyard? Yeah it's gonna be like that only with more bureaucracy and fewer near death experiences. Although… hmm…

Trump Can Change His Mind?! No Way!

These brainiacs are saying corporations can try to wiggle their way out of the tariff mess but it'll take time. And get this: Trump can change his mind whenever he wants! It's like when I promise Lois I'll do the dishes then immediately forget and start a jazz band in the living room. Predictability? Never heard of her! But hey at least the analysts have a "buy equivalent outperform rating" on Bristol Myers Stock. Whatever that means!

Ireland is the New Quahog?

So Trump's gonna announce these "reciprocal tariffs" soon. Sounds fancy right? Bristol Myers is playing it cool saying their supply chain isn't too reliant on any one country. But here's the kicker: apparently all the cool kids in the biopharma world are worried about tariffs on Europe and Ireland. Ireland! Who knew? I thought it was just about leprechauns and Guinness. Apparently it's a pharmaceutical hub! And Bristol Myers and Eli Lilly both have factories there. Maybe I should move to Ireland. I'd fit right in. Especially in the pub.

Bring Operations Back Stateside or Else!

According to the Jeffries analyst these guys wrote that Trump wants these biopharma companies “with foreign manufacturing and tax shields outside the US to bring operations” back to the U.S.. Sounds like trump want to flex his authority! That is just… wow

Cobenfy and Dividends…Giggity!

Despite all this doom and gloom the experts are still optimistic about Bristol Myers Squibb. They're excited about some new drug for schizophrenia called Cobenfy. Schizophrenia… sounds like a fun night out with Quagmire! Plus the stock pays a dividend which is like getting free beer for owning something. Giggity! But they also say don't buy right now. Wait for the price to drop. It's like waiting for Lois to finally agree to watch 'Police Academy' with me. It might take a while but it's worth it in the end! Hey she hates when I do impressions from that movie but I can’t help it.
