AbbVie said on Wednesday its migraine drug met the main goal and was superior to a generic drug in a head-to head late-stage trial.

The recommendations of Wall Street analysts are often relied on by investors when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock. Media reports about these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts changing their ratings often affect a stock's price.
AbbVie remains a Buy despite venetoclax's MDS trial failure, as this setback has minimal impact on current revenue and growth outlook. SKYRIZI and RINVOQ are successfully replacing HUMIRA's lost revenue, driving robust year-over-year growth and demonstrating AbbVie's R&D strength. AbbVie's diversified pipeline, strategic partnerships, and expansion into oncology and neuroscience provide multiple growth drivers beyond immunology.

In the Large-Cap Pharmaceuticals industry, AbbVie, Novartis, Pfizer, Sanofi and Bayer are worth retaining amid macro pressure and rising innovation.
AbbVie's top line is stable post-Humira, with Skyrizi and Rinvoq driving growth, but margin recovery remains uncertain and slow. Pipeline and acquisitions support long-term growth, but macro risks like IRA pricing and pharma tariffs could pressure margins further. Dividend yield is attractive, but potential recent cash flow weakness raises questions about sustainability if not transitory; capital allocation needs watching.
Skyrizi and Rinvoq are rapidly replacing Humira, generating over $5 billion in Q1 2025 alone. From migraine to Parkinson's and obesity, AbbVie is building dominant franchises across multiple high-growth areas. With 42% operating margins, $20B in free cash flow, and a 3.4% dividend yield, AbbVie offers both growth and stability.
AbbVie is undervalued, trading at under 16x 2025 earnings, despite robust EPS growth, a strong pipeline, and successful Humira diversification. Skyrizi and Rinvoq are driving immunology revenue, expected to surpass $15 billion by 2027, with neuroscience and oncology portfolios also showing strong growth. AbbVie has delivered 11 consecutive years of dividend increases, with a 7.23% five-year CAGR and a current yield of 3.43%, rewarding shareholders consistently.
AbbVie offers a compelling blend of high yield, consistent dividend growth, and strong financials, making it attractive for income-focused investors. The company has successfully transitioned from Humira, with Rinvoq and Skyrizi driving impressive revenue growth and offsetting patent expirations. AbbVie's robust pipeline and strategic acquisitions position it for continued growth, supporting ongoing dividend increases and shareholder returns.
