The healthcare sector is seen as a safe haven amidst trade uncertainties. Mizuho Securities America’s Jared Holz discussed the sector’s resilience on CNBC’s ‘Power Lunch.’ Although major healthcare and pharmaceutical companies play a critical role in fighting healthcare problems, their financial models face challenges like patent cliffs and price concessions.

Managed care companies, particularly those with a government focus, are considered somewhat safe from tariffs and benefit from economic slowdowns. Holz suggests considering investing in these companies due to their insulation from external risks.

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE:BMY) ranks 6th on the list of best medical stocks to buy according to billionaires. The company has a strong drug portfolio, robust pipeline, and consistent dividend growth. Despite its potential, other artificial intelligence (AI) stocks may offer greater returns in a shorter time frame.
