The shares of pharma giant Gilead Sciences (GILD) broke out of a major basing pattern back in late 2022, which had begun forming in 2017. The equity also crossed above the round-number $100 billion market cap in December, following a year-long pullback to the rising 20-month moving average. This moving average is at the site of the stock' s 2020 peak, too.
With all this potential in place, GILD could make a move back up to it's 2015 highs within the coming calendar year. Even further, analyst sentiment could be improved upon, considering nine of the 19 covering brokerage firms still sport a tepid " hold" recommendation.
