How this fits the existing thesis

Parent thesis: As AI and technology stocks sold off sharply on June 5, investors rotated into healthcare names as a defensive alternative, with one article explicitly noting healthcare stocks gaining traction as investors move away from volatile AI and technology names. Amgen received European Commission approval for a new therapy, AbbVie secured EU approval for another drug, and Merck announced detailed results from a Moderna collaboration — a cluster of positive clinical and regulatory catalysts arriving simultaneously. The combination of defensive rotation demand and pipeline execution makes diversified biopharma an attractive hedge against AI valuation compression.
