AMETEK, Inc. Research Report
Ametek reported record levels of orders, sales, operating income, operating margins,
and net income for the fourth quarter, showing strength in all areas of the company. The
company expects the business to show solid growth in 2013, especially in its oil and gas,
power and aerospace segments. In the coming year, it will continue to invest in product
development, geographic expansion, and strategic acquisitions.
Recently, Ametek acquired Sunpower, Inc., a leader in cryogenic cooling and heated
Stirling engine technology and Crystal Engineering's high-end, portable calibration
instruments. It also expanded its position in aerospace aftermarket by acquiring Aero
Components International (ACI) and Avtech Avionics and Instruments. The Full Research

Honeywell International Inc. Research Report
Honeywell's materials unit topped all other segments in terms of sales growth, up 8
percent, as it supplies chemicals and equipment used in oil and gas production. Since US
oil production is increasing at a substantial rate, it is understandable how this segment
did well in the recent quarter. The company was also granted patent protection for its
avionics display system, a system that includes navigation, communications and display
systems that will easily provide flight information to pilots and crew members. Embraer
has signed a $2.8 billion contract with Honeywell for this technology and will use it to
develop a second-generation E-Jet aircraft family and it. Honeywell CEO David Cote warns,
however, that uncertain macroeconomic conditions could change the fate of technology
manufacturers. He calls for policy leaders to address the nation's rising debt load by
cutting government spending. While he admits that cuts in the country's defense budget
could hurt his company, he also argues it will be more than overshadowed by the benefits
that the country can get in the coming years by having another trillion dollars of debt
reduction. The Full Research Report on Honeywell International Inc. - including full

Amgen, Inc. Research Report
Amgen, the biggest in its industry, has been responding to expired patents using
aggressive dividend payments and stock buybacks to lift share prices. Its drugs that have
declined or stagnant demand have been given price increases to stabilize revenue. The
company has also been an active lobbyist, spending as much as $42 million in 2009, and was
able to secure key legislative gains. Amgen still has a couple of drugs which could give
optimism to the company's future, like arthritis drug Enbrel. The drug generated $4.23
billion in sales last year, and is one of a few drugs that contributed to the gains of the
company's stock over the past 18 months. The patent won't be expired until 2028. Upcoming
drugs that are showing promise are treatments for high cholesterol and osteoporosis in one
or two years, while a drug for ovarian cancer is expected to release late-stage data this
year. In addition, it has partnered with Actavis Inc. in a developmental deal which could
bring Amgen to the biosimilar market. However, these weren't enough to please some
analysts and they are doubtful that the company may be able to continue to satisfy
investors in the long run. In addition, growing competition from rivals and increased
regulatory scrutiny could add insult to injury as well. The Full Research Report on Amgen,
Inc. - including full detailed breakdown, analyst ratings and price targets - is available

Bristol Myers Squibb Co. Research Report
Bristol-Myers was recently hit by lapsed drug patents last year, as demand for its
blood clot preventer Plavix - once one of the world's best-selling drugs - fell 97 percent
after the patent expired in May, while its blood pressure drugs Avapro and Avalide fell 57
percent after their patents expired in March. The company, as well as its competitors, has
also been losing market share from low-cost generic drugs, which also forced Bristol-Myers
to cut costs and develop new products in the market to safeguard itself from expired
patents. Bristol-Myers is currently looking for a buyer for their brand portfolio in
Mexico and Brazil, which could fetch in $750 million. The deal would be the latest of its
many previous consumer divestitures in recent years, including the spin-off of Mead
Johnson Nutrition Co, a baby-food products manufacturer. It is also improving its efforts
in its diabetes treatment drug by partnering with AstraZeneca, by merging their diabetes
marketing teams for the development of the pill Onglyza and a combination pill combining
the pill and the generic metformin. The Full Research Report on Bristol Myers Squibb Co. -
