Iambic widens the discovery search, but AbbVie disclosed no targets, payment amounts or development timetable.

Eli Lilly (LLY) grew revenue 49.6% over the last twelve months, the fastest of the six companies in its peer group. It also runs the group's widest operating margin, at 49.7%. Yet its 53.4% stock return ranks only third, behind Merck and Johnson & Johnson, which both grew far more slowly. The open question is how long Mounjaro and Zepbound can carry a lead the stock has not matched.

It would be hard for investors to replicate the company's return over the past decade.

AI drug discovery is about to get a public-market test with unusually recognizable backers. Iambic Therapeutics filed for a U.S. IPO on September 21 after raising money from NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Qatar Investment Authority, and the same day announced a multi-year research collaboration with AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:ABBV). Iambic will use its AI platform to […]

AbbVie's management has changed what it puts first on its earnings calls. One growth figure used to open the script. Management last mentioned that figure in the fiscal fourth quarter 2025 call. AbbVie (ABBV) never said it would stop reporting it. So which figure was it, and why did it matter.

Pfizer's COVID products keep shrinking. The company's total revenue has been flat for a year. That makes the best case for this stock easy to miss. It does not rest on the medicines you already know Pfizer (PFE) for. It is not another round of cost cuts either. It rests on a smaller and faster part of the company. So where is that growth coming from.

AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) received European Commission approval for RINVOQ in polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis for patients as young as two. Allergan Aesthetics launched AA Signature SKIN360 in the U.S., offering a multimodal digital platform for medical aesthetics consultations. AbbVie entered AI-focused collaborations with Iambic and the AISB Bind project to use advanced models in drug discovery and molecular binding prediction. The RINVOQ pediatric extension, AA Signature SKIN360...

AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:ABBV) said on September 22 that the European Commission has approved Rinvoq for children aged two and older with active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The approval covers patients who did not respond to, or could not tolerate, standard disease-modifying drugs. It is the eleventh indication Rinvoq holds in Europe. The Commission also cleared […]

ABBV's Rinvoq secures EU approval for pJIA in children, expanding ABBV's reach as clinical data show sustained improvements in disease activity.

Alkermes’ results heightened anticipation for a coming readout in 2027. Elsewhere, AbbVie leaned into AI drug discovery and the FDA expanded use of Eli Lilly’s breast cancer pill.

Merck (MRK) stock gained about 89% in the year from mid-September 2025, against a 17.1% price gain for the S&P 500. It also beat Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), up 58%, and Eli Lilly (LLY), up 54%. The signs were public long before the run, in what management kept saying about its drug pipeline. The reported sales told a different story.

Earnings results often indicate what direction a company will take in the months ahead. With Q2 behind us, let’s have a look at AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) and its peers.

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) stock has returned 58% over the past twelve months, second best in a group of six health care companies. Its revenue growth ranks only fourth of the six. Three peers grew faster and returned less, Eli Lilly among them. The price is a bet that the rest of the business keeps growing once shrinking STELARA sales stop dragging on the total.

AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) announced on Tuesday that the European Commission has approved Rinvoq (upadacitinib) for the treatment of active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The approval covers children aged two years and older who have had an inadequate response to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).

These companies are committed to rewarding shareholders.

Replacing a top-tier salary with dividends sounds like a portfolio problem, but the yield you chase could cost you far more than the shares you buy. The answer depends on a tradeoff most investors never think to run.

Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO), the Danish drugmaker, saw its US-listed shares fall over 7% to $39.82 on Monday after new long-term targets failed to ease investor concerns about competition in the weight-loss drug market. The company said it aims to launch more than five multi-blockbuster drugs by...

Novo Nordisk's (NVO) US-listed shares declined as the Danish drugmaker unveiled its long-term growth

Pfizer (PFE) has returned 23.1% over the past year and trades about 5% below its three-year high. Yet one question keeps coming back on its earnings calls: would it ever cut the dividend? An analyst asked it outright on the August call, and another tied it to a big acquisition in May. So what would a cut take, and what would it change.

The drugmaker expects growth in line with industry peers as it works to rebuild its pipeline beyond obesity

AbbVie's market-beating days don't seem to be over yet.

AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) shared new real-world and pediatric safety data for VRAYLAR in MDD and bipolar I at Psych Congress 2026.

Eli Lilly (LLY) trades near $1,150, up about 52% over the past year, and is now worth more than a trillion dollars. At that size the easy read is that the big money has been made. But Lilly has barely started selling Foundayo, its oral obesity medicine, outside the United States. So how much is left? The scenario below starts from Lilly's own trailing numbers, but the growth, margin, and multiple it assumes are ours. It is not a forecast and not a price target.

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) stock has returned about 57% over the past year, against about 17% for the S&P 500. On the earnings it has already banked, that price looks expensive. But those earnings carry STELARA, which is losing share to biosimilar competition. What looks dear on earnings already reported comes down sharply on the earnings analysts expect.

Merck (MRK) stock returned about 87% over the past twelve months, climbing from roughly $79 to about $147. Nothing in the year's results looks like that. The medicines Merck sells today grew at their usual pace. Investors spent the year repricing what comes next.

AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:ABBV) has declared another quarterly dividend of $1.73 per share. The dividend will be paid on November 16, 2026, to shareholders of record as of October 15.
