Earlier this year Tom Bleakley of the Nicholas Applegate Emerging Growth Fund nacm.com, provides the following stock ideas on Boron, LePore & Associates (BLPG 29 3/4). Many drug companies are pumping out more and more new drugs each year. When a new product is put out by a large pharmaceutical company, the sales force of that company usually focuses on that new product and sometimes less focus is put on existing products. Boron, LePore & Associates (BLA) is a company that will help will pick up the slack if a pharmaceutical company needs help promoting new or existing products. BLA provides outsourced promotional, marketing, and educational services to the pharmaceutical industry. "BLA has won a number of contracts," says Tom Bleakley of the Nicholas Applegate Emerging Growth Fund, "They are being driven by a large number of pharmaceutical and drug products coming onto the market." Tom thinks BLA will grow earnings around 35% to 40% annually over the next couple of years and sees $0.80 for 1998 and between $1.10 and $1.20 for 1999. He adds that BLA will most likely sign some more contracts between now and the end of this year, which should give some upside to earnings expectations for next year. "I would not be surprised to see it trading in the $45 area within the next 12 months," he says. Note that the COO has now backed the lower end of these estimates, coming in at 1.10. This produces a traget of 40 at least!
