The modern company came from the 1989 merger of Bristol-Myers and Squibb, and its scale today rests on the 2019 acquisition of Celgene, which added Revlimid and the cell-therapy programs. The defining problem is patent expiry: Revlimid and Eliquis both face erosion, and the pipeline has to replace revenue on a schedule set by the calendar rather than by science. Business development is therefore structural rather than opportunistic. Immunology and oncology remain the therapeutic centers of gravity. Headquarters are in Princeton, New Jersey.

A protective put caps your downside on the BMY position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current BMY option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share BMY position at $66.05 is worth $330,250. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $6,605 to $13,210) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off BMY's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

The calculator above prices both structures off the current BMY option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
