The investing world is filled with buzzwords, and one of the most widespread lately is “compounders” – aka stocks with the capacity to generate double-digit compound growth in terms of revenue and earnings.
They’re typically dubbed as the “next” Amazon (AMZN), Visa (V), or Nike (NKE), making them heavy favorites among growth investors aggressively looking for companies that can generate high returns in the next five to 10 years.
Ultimately, the goal is to find the next “10 bagger.”
Most investors are perfectly content with big and popular compounders like Mastercard (MA) and Alphabet (GOOGL).
Since the healthcare and biotechnology sector has its own well-known compounders, such as Eli Lilly (LLY) and UnitedHealth Group (UNH), it’s easy to miss the smaller lesser-known companies that are consistently generating high growth in their profits over the past years.
A good example of this is Staar Surgical (STAA).
Founded way back in 1982, this under-the-radar stock is up by over 243% over the past 12 months and more than 85% this year alone.
Saying that the company has had an impressive 2020 despite the pandemic is an understatement.
The company’s latest product is an implantable lens that works to correct myopia or nearsightedness.
This technology addresses a potentially massive market, taking into consideration the growing number of vision-related problems globally.
Staar anticipates the lens, which has already been made available across Europe and even Asia for roughly five years now, to enter the US market by the fourth quarter of 2021.
Inasmuch as the human eyes are considered powerful organs, they are definitely far from perfect. That’s why eyeglasses and even contact lenses have been in the market for decades.
Aside from its new product, Staar’s bread and butter is its Visian implantable collamer lenses, which are designed to deal with various vision issues including myopia (nearsightedness), presbyopia (an incapability to focus on nearby objects), and astigmatism (blurred or distorted vision).
Although they are quite different, many people confuse Staar’s solution with LASIK.
The key difference is that LASIK surgeries necessitate trimming of the cornea using lasers to correct the vision of the patient.
In contrast, what Staar does is to implant the corrective lenses directly in the eye, specifically behind the patient’s iris but right in front of the cornea.
This makes Staar’s solution reversible and, of course, less invasive compared to LASIK.
To date, Staar’s surgery is more expensive at $3,500 per eye, while LASIK costs roughly $2,246 for each eye.
However, this cost is expected to go down as more doctors eventually choose Staar implants over other options.
Looking at its trajectory, Staar could lead to LASIK becoming obsolete in the same way that radial keratotomy stopped being the norm before.
So far, Staar remains profitable and continues to grow its quarterly profits by 18.3% year over year. However, it’s the long-term revenue that shareholders would stand to gain most.
At this point, roughly 30% of the world is diagnosed as nearsighted. By 2050, over half of the population may require vision for myopia alone.
Meanwhile, 75% to 80% of adults between ages 45 and 74 are already struggling with presbyopia.
These figures spell massive opportunities and lucrative markets for Staar’s vision lines, with the annual spending on cheaper alternatives like eyeglasses projected at $48 billion.
Silently growing companies in the seemingly humdrum market are often pretty sneaky.

After Biogen’s (BIIB) work with Aduhelm, another biopharmaceutical company has made notable progress: Bayer (BAYRY).
Merely six weeks after DA01 landed in the clinic, Bayer’s Parkinson’s disease drug candidate is getting into the fast lane.
This marks one of the major pipeline candidates that the German company picked up from its $1 billion acquisition of Versant Ventures in 2019.
DA01 is described as a “pluripotent stem cell-derived dopaminergic neuron therapy.”
In layman’s terms, Bayer collects donor cells that have the ability to develop into any other cell type in the body.
It will then engineer these versatile cells to turn into neurons that have the capacity to produce the neurotransmitter dopamine—aka the chemical your nervous system uses to transmit messages to nerve cells.
Those engineered neurons will then be transplanted into a part of the brain, called the putamen, which is in charge of our movements and learning.
What we know so far is that the next phase of the trial will determine the safety and tolerability of the cell transplantation a year following the procedure.
This will also tell us more about the cell survival rate after the transplant and the motor effects a year or two following the procedure.
Like Biogen’s Alzheimer’s candidate, the fast-track designation with the FDA could open doors for a speedy review or even an accelerated approval for Bayer’s DA01.
Aside from transplanting engineered cells into patients’ brains, the company is also looking into other options for Parkinson’s.
In October 2020, it shelled out $2 billion upfront to acquire Asklepios BioPharmaceutical or AskBio for its gene therapy research on Parkinson’s.
Roughly 1 million people in the US are suffering from Parkinson’s disease—a number that’s greater than the combined number of patients diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and muscular dystrophy.
What’s worse is that this is expected to climb to 1.2 million by 2030.
In terms of treatment cost, the combined expenses for Parkinson’s, including medical bills and lost income, are estimated to reach about $52 billion annually in the US alone.
The medications alone already amount to an average of $2,500 per year, with therapeutic surgery reaching up to $100,000 per person.
This is why it comes as no surprise that several companies have been working towards figuring out a more potent treatment or even cure for Parkinson’s.
One of the frontrunners is Prevail Therapeutics, a New York-based biotechnology company that’s focused on developing a gene therapy for this disease.
Following a successful Series B financing round in 2019, in which it secured $50 million in investments, the company eventually attracted the attention of big pharma.
By December 2020, it was acquired by Eli Lilly (LLY) for $880 million with the promise to help the smaller biotech company develop three of its most promising Parkinson’s candidates.
Another Parkinson’s-centered biotech company is Axovant Gene Therapies, which has been working on a single-dose treatment for neurodegenerative disease.
Its pipeline proved to be promising, as seen in its $74.7 million public offering just last February 2020, with the company maintaining its solid footing amid the pandemic.
By November, it rebranded itself as Sio Gene Therapies (SIOX).
Outside the US is Irish biotech firm Inflazome, which is working on a unique treatment for Parkinson’s.
Unlike the other candidates, the goal of Inflazome’s drug is to directly deliver the treatment to the affected neurons. That is, it plans to pass through the blood-brain barrier.
Its research attracted the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which granted it $1 million in funding, in March 2019.
Since then, the company’s progress has attracted the attention of other major biopharmaceutical companies with Roche (RHHBY), ultimately landing the acquisition in September 2020.
Of course, talks about neurodegenerative diseases wouldn’t be complete without Biogen.
On top of its Alzheimer’s work, the Massachusetts biotechnology giant has been collaborating with San Francisco-based Parkinson’s company Denali Therapeutics.
The two have been working on the development of three small molecular drugs for $560 million in upfront payments plus $465 million in equity investment into the smaller biotech.
In addition to these, we’re still waiting on what the rest of the major biopharmaceutical companies would come up with in the future.
Given that the likes of AbbVie (ABBV), Merck (MRK), Pfizer (PFE), and AstraZeneca (AZN) have all signed up publicly via the Critical Path for Parkinson's (CPP) consortium to tackle this debilitating disease, it’s safe to say that there’s hope for the future of this sector.

More than halfway into 2021, and so much has transpired in the investing world.
We witnessed a historical short squeeze, the unprecedented rise of cryptocurrencies, and even the battle among billionaires on who would get to explore outer space first.
The stock market has been quite volatile over the past months, and the fears that we’re barreling towards another downturn, as fueled partly by concerns on inflation, continue to haunt us.
Amid the noise and the chaos, it’s critical to bear in mind one of the most important rules of investing: Buying and holding shares of stable companies for a long period usually reaps great returns.
While no one knows what the rest of 2021 holds, there are still remarkable companies that are worth buying and holding through the course of the next few months.
One such company is Eli Lilly (LLY).
The greatest strength of Eli Lilly is the way it handles its diverse pipeline. While it continues to expand its reach to cover more and more markets, the company also ensures that it doesn’t neglect its well-established niches.
For instance, Eli Lilly continues to boost its diabetes and obesity sector. One of the company’s most promising projects is a new drug called Tirzepatide, which targets these health conditions.
This is now undergoing Phase 3 clinical trials, and if successful, could rake in $7.8 billion in sales for Eli Lilly.
It’s also developing a once-a-week insulin, called Basal Insulin Fc, which would be administered to patients with Type 2 diabetes.
If approved, this would be a massive breakthrough considering that the patients typically need to take insulin daily.
Another effort to shore up its diabetes franchise is Eli Lilly’s decision to buy a next-generation biotechnology company called Protomer for a whopping $1 billion.
Although Protomer has only been in operations for six years, the private company has already developed incredible technology in the diabetes sector.
The most remarkable achievement it has so far is a platform that can create glucose-response insulins, which can sense the body’s sugar levels and then get activated automatically throughout the day.
Although this is still in its early stages, this technology could drastically reduce the risk of hypo- and hyperglycemia among diabetes patients.
Eli Lilly’s deal with Protomer follows in the footsteps of the leading diabetes company worldwide, Novo Nordisk (NVO), which also struck a similar agreement worth $800 million with another biotech startup in 2018.
Aside from diabetes and obesity, Eli Lilly has also been working on dominating in the Alzheimer’s disease space.
When the FDA granted Biogen’s (BIIB) Alzheimer candidate Aduhelm with accelerated approval, it also opened a door for Eli Lilly.
Even prior to this approval, Eli Lilly has already been working on its own candidates, Donanemab. What the Biogen approval provides is a higher chance of positive review for Eli Lilly’s candidate.
In fact, mere weeks after Aduhelm’s accelerated approval, Eli Lilly announced that it would submit an application for the same authorization by the end of 2021.
At this point, the treatment holds a Breakthrough Therapy designation from the FDA.
Given this, it’s presumably a shoo-in for approval soon, thereby adding a new growth driver to the company’s extensive arsenal.
Other than the two, Roche (RHHBY) is also expected to throw its hat in the ring with its Alzheimer’s candidate Gantenerumab.
Eli Lilly’s current lineup of products is definitely worth mentioning as well.
In the first quarter of 2021, the company’s revenue climbed by 16% year over year to hit $6.9 billion.
One of its top performers is its diabetes drug Trulicity, which recorded an 18% jump in sales to reach $1.5 billion.
In terms of its bottom line, Eli Lilly projects its adjusted earnings to increase between 15% and 18% year over year in 2021.
Although the company hasn’t exactly catapulted to unprecedented heights, it has shown stable and consistent growth as well as notable gross margins of over 70%.
It has consistently outperformed the markets in the past five years, climbing close to 200%.
This is the reason why regardless of the ups and downs of the market, investors can easily count on this stock to climb continuously in the long run.

Spinoffs have historically been known to deliver healthy returns for their investors.
A good example is PayPal (PYPL), which grew sevenfold since 2015 following its spinoff from eBay (EBAY).
A more recent example is Carrier Global (CARR), which tripled its shares amid the pandemic after its spinoff from United Technologies (UTC) last year.
Basically, spinoffs allow smaller segments of companies to thrive on their own or push high-growth divisions to expand faster.
Over the past months, the cheapest stocks found in the S&P 500 have recently spun off pharmaceutical companies: Viatris (VTRS) and Organon (OGN).
Viatris is a spinoff of Pfizer (PFE), which merged with Mylan, while Merck (MRK) jettisoned Organon (OGN) just last month.
Both are brand new and still under the radar, particularly among investors who don’t follow healthcare updates.
While these two have yet to impress the market, both exhibit potential that could make them promising long-term prospects.
Viatris holds an extensive portfolio of drugs courtesy of Pfizer’s Upjohn unit and Mylan’s pipeline.
The list includes the previously top-selling Lipitor, Viagra, Lyrica, and even Norvasc from Pfizer. It also has Mylan’s income-generating EpiPen along with the company’s HIV/AIDS therapies and 7,500 marketed products across the globe.
To date, Viatris has fallen roughly 30% from its average price target. It’s not for the subpar performance of its products though. This is mostly attributed to the lack of attention from investors and possibly a bit of skepticism from some analysts.
However, Viatris has a really good value proposition.
The main goal of the biggest names in the biopharmaceutical sector, such as Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Eli Lilly (LLY), AbbVie (ABBV), AstraZeneca (AZN), GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY), and Gilead Sciences (GILD), is to develop and launch the best-in-class treatments to market.
To achieve that, these industry giants are granted a set period to exclusively sell and market each new drug that gains approval.
This would allow them to command a premium price, which in turn would give them the money to fund the next round of research and development needed to come with the next generation of newer and improved versions of the treatment.
However, not everyone can afford those premium prices.
So when the periods of exclusivity end, there are companies like Mylan—now Viatris—that are allowed to manufacture generic versions of those branded drugs and sell them at lower prices.
The list of drugs with soon-to-expire patents for which Viatris has been working on creating biosimilars or generic versions include Humira from AbbVie, which recorded peak sales at $20 billion; Eylea from Regeneron (REGN), which peaked at $7.5 billion; and even Allergan’s Botox, which peaked at $5 billion.
Viatris is also working on biosimilars for Roche’s (RHHBY) cancer treatments Avastin, which had peak sales of $7 billion, and Perjeta, which peaked at $5 billion.
Obviously, Viatris will not reach the same height of success as the companies that created those branded drugs.
But, if it manages to achieve even only 10% of those numbers, then it can generate roughly $4 to $5 billion in sales—and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
So far, Viatris owns at least 1,400 approved molecules applicable in roughly 10 therapeutic segments.
It has roughly 350 products in its pipeline at the moment, with each item estimated to generate approximately $100 million to $500 million in sales.
With its current performance and access to 165 countries and territories, Viatris is expected to generate roughly $224 billion in global sales annually.
With all these in mind, Viatris’ value proposition looks impressively strong to me.
More importantly, this Pfizer spinoff has the capacity to become the world’s first dominant generic and biosimilar drug manufacturer, with its revenues potentially becoming comparable to major pharmaceutical companies at some point.
The same value proposition could be behind Organon, as this newly spun-off company markets Merck’s off-patent drugs.
While the move to separate from its parent company has yet to show tangible results, Organon is projected to rake $6.1 billion to $6.4 billion in revenue for 2021, with annual sales expected to rise in mid-single digits and dividends anticipated to be about 3%.
The biosimilars market is still relatively young, with only 60 biosimilars approved in the EU and 29 in the US thus far. In total, those represent a market worth approximately $17 billion.
Conservative estimates project that the global biosimilars market will be worth $692 billion by 2027, considerably outpacing the mainstream pharmaceutical sector.
Given their potential and prospect for future gains, the low prices for companies like Viatris and Organon present rare opportunities to grab long-term investments.

The animal health industry has been expanding rapidly over the past years, particularly on the pet side.
If you’re treating your pets more like people, then you’re part of the growing number of customers doing the same thing.
While the “humanization” of animals has actually been going on for years, house pets have made an inexorable transition from the backyard to the couch as more and more people treat their pets as family, especially during the pandemic.
Sales for pet supplies continue to surge as pet owners splurge on everything for their furry friends, from kibble to supplements.
In fact, animal health product sales went up 7% in 2020, generating roughly $11 billion despite the pandemic—a trend that’s expected to gain even more momentum as retail sales start to shift from vet clinics to stores and online platforms.
Pfizer’s (PFE) spinoff company, Zoetis (ZTS), is the undisputed leader in the animal healthcare industry with a proven track record and a rich history spanning 65 years.
The way the company handled the challenges in 2020 showcased its ability to not only rise to the occasion but also turn red-hot despite the setbacks.
Meanwhile, Zoetis stock experienced continuing growth in 2021.
Revenues from its Simparica franchise, which fights off heartworms and other parasites in dogs and cats, grew by 133% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2021 thanks to its expansion in the US, Europe, Australia, and Canada markets.
Next to the US, Zoetis’ biggest market is China. In the first quarter of this year, the company saw a 75% climb in its revenues in the region, raking in $123 million for the period.
Simparica Trio, which generated $90 million in the first quarter alone, also received approvals in new markets, such as Japan and Mexico.
Its predecessor, Simparica, also continues to rake in good numbers, with $74 million in sales during the same period.
However, another player appears to be making big moves to dethrone the company.
Elanco Animal Health (ELAN), which is a spinoff of Eli Lilly (LLY), struck an impressive $440 million deal to acquire Kindred Biosciences (KIN) in an effort to bolster its drug pipeline.
This deal, which is expected to close in the third quarter of this year, will focus primarily on Elanco’s pet dermatology segment.
The move to invest in dermatology is a great decision for Elanco. Dermatology has become one of the fastest growing divisions of pet care.
For context, Zoetis’ 2020 revenues for this segment reached $925 million, recording a $170 million boost from its 2019 earnings.
The dermatology segment grew 24% year on year in the first quarter of 2021 as well, recording $245 million in revenues for this period.
Looking at the performance of the products in this segment, Zoetis is on track to exceed the $1 billion revenue estimate for 2021.
Outside its dermatology segment, Zoetis also enjoyed a 47% year-on-year growth in its diagnostics sector in the first quarter—a trend that’s anticipated to improve in the long run due to the company’s continuous expansion globally.
Zoetis stock is projected to continue its momentum throughout 2021 and well beyond 2022.
For this year, the company estimates revenue growth by 9% to 11%, which would be driven by the pet care segment, additional product launches, and rising demand for their existing drugs. The reopening of the economy also plays a key role in this growth.
Other than Elanco and Zoetis, some companies working on dominating the booming animal health care sector include Idexx Laboratories (IDXX), Chewy (CHWY), and FreshPet (FRPT).
Overall, Zoetis stock has offered excellent returns for its investors. Looking at its pipeline programs and future plans, the company shows great potential for growth in the coming years.
Investors on the lookout for a stock in the animal health industry would be wise to take Zoetis into serious consideration.
