Bristol Myers Squibb is facing down the expiration of patent protections for older drugs, but new drugs are starting to show promise.

Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) has a problem, but it isn't an unusual problem. Simply put, the drug maker's older drugs will lose patent protection, resulting in revenue declines. That's why it is so important that the company's portfolio of newer drugs is already generating roughly $7.7 billion in revenue, which is more than its older drugs currently generate.

To be fair, $5.42 billion is a lot of revenue, so it is reasonable for investors to be worried. That's part of the reason why the stock yields 4% while the average drug company yields 1.3%.
