What is Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB GF Value Rank?

Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB has the GF Value Rank of 5.

The GF Value Rank is determined by the price-to-GF-Value (P/GF Value) ratio, a proprietary metric calculated based on historical multiples along with an adjustment factor based on a company's past returns and growth and future estimates of the business' performance.

GuruFocus found that for valuation, we cannot simply give stocks a better GF Value rank simply because they have a lower P/GF Value ratio. Backtesting shows that over the long term, the two worst-performing groups are the most expensive group (with the highest P/GF Value ratio) and the least expensive group (with the lowest P/GF Value ratio).

We can understand why the most expensive group underperforms. We were initially puzzled by the underperformance of the least expensive group, but we realized there is a reason why some stocks are super cheap. If they look too undervalued, it is often because the businesses behind them are poor quality. The market realized this and gave them low valuations. In a way, the market is efficient.

After multiple backtesting analyses, we granted the stocks in third-cheapest percentile the highest GF Value rank, as they have performed the best over a full market cycle. Stock performance is actually not as sensitive to valuation as it is to growth and profitability. On average, the companies in the 20%-50% valuation groups have similar performances. Therefore, we should avoid the most expensive and the least expensive stocks. We can be more tolerant of valuation.

Swedish Orphan Biovitrum, or Sobi, focuses on rare diseases, primarily in hematology and immunology. Biovitrum started with experience in studying recombinant proteins such as hemophilia factors, and partnered with Syntonix (now part of Sanofi) on long-acting hemophilia factor replacement programs in 2006. Biovitrum acquired Orfadin and a partnered product business with the acquisition of Swedish Orphan. Sobi launched hemophilia products Alprolix and Eloctate in Europe in 2016. Sobi has since been building its immunology pipeline (rare disease drug Gamifant, U.S. rights to RSV antibodies Synagis and Beyfortus, gout drug SEL-212, complement drug Aspaveli) and hematology pipeline outside of hemophilia (thrombocytopenia drug Doptelet, blood cancer drug Zynlonta, myelofibrosis drug Vonjo).
