Gilead Sciences, Inc. (GILD - Analyst Report) is a biotechnology company that develops and markets drugs for infectious diseases, including viral, fungal and bacterial infections. The company also has specialized focus on developing drugs for patients suffering from HIV/AIDS.

We remain optimistic about growth of HIV/AIDS franchise drugs Truvada and the recently approved Atripla. Earnings over the past few quarters have been above expectations, specifically on strong sales of the HIV franchise products.

We continue to be positive on the name and would recommend opportunistic buying at this level. We view the name as a core biotech to own. Our target is $52.
