Over on CAPS, 373 of the 392 All-Star members who have rated Glaxo -- or 95% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include my Foolish colleague Brian Orelli (TMFBiologyFool) and TSIF, both of whom are ranked in the top 4% of our community.

In February, Brian tapped Glaxo as a great way to get out of the greenback:

Short-term [Glaxo] is a play on the dollar. If it weakens, the dividend and sales in $ terms will go up. Stock price is sure to follow. In the long-term [Glaxo] has so many development deals, that it'll be a [new drug application] powerhouse. But that's going to take time.

In a more recent pitch from two weeks ago, TSIF takes a shot:

While only a small percent of GlaxoSmithKline's revenues, they are only one of two major players who produce flu vaccines in volume. At this time, we could be looking at 2 or 3 winter flu shots instead of ONE. This is gravy to them if they can meet production as governments commit to buying their production runs if they meet quality standards. … Besides flu vaccines Glaxo is near a 5 YEAR low. P/B is higher than I personally buy into at 6, but is supported by very strong margins and 52% ROE. Forward P/E is below 9. Cash flow is in the billions and the 5.3% dividend is outstanding for this climate.
