Analyst Shares Top Picks In Biotechnology Sector With CNBC (AMGN, ACOR, DNDN, GILD)

Biotechnology stocks have performed well so far this year. Mark Schoebebaum, managing director and senior research analyst at Deutsche Bank (NYSE: DB), shared his views about the sector with CNBC.

According to Schoebebaum, the sector performed extremely well during the tough times in 2008. However, 2009 saw a tepid performance due to the pending health care bill. According to Schoebebaum, biotechnology drugs are high-price drugs, and the price points look less sustainable in the light of health care bill provisions.

Among the companies in the sector, Schoenebaum likes Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN), Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD), Acorda Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ACOR) and Dendreon(NASDAQ: DNDN).
