The investment landscape for Abbvie Inc. (NYSE: ABBV) has been dynamically shifting with several tides acting in its favor as well as some challenges. The company has showcased impressive return on equity of 78%, leading to several positive analyst ratings. However, ongoing speculation about whether Merck’s stock is a better pick suggests prospects for competition. Remarkably, promising advancements are being made in Abbvie’s oncology pipeline with the start of phase 3 clinical trial for its investigational asset ABBV-383. In addition, the company also received approval in the EU for expanding the use of its lymphoma drug.
Despite expectations that Abbvie’s Q2 earnings may decline, the company’s stock has significantly appreciated, up 24% in a year, coupled with a soaring streak in the stock market. AbbVie's acquisition of Landos Biopharma boosts its position in the inflammatory and autoimmune diseases space and regulatory applications for its drug Upadacitinib in the treatment of Giant Cell Arteritis bode well. Challenges, however, lie in the FDA's multiple rejections of its Parkinson's therapy. Yet, AbbVie's achievements like its robust solid tumor pipeline, beating Q2 earnings & sales, declaring dividends, and promising collaborations and licenses continue to make it an attractive opportunity for investors.
