Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) has been making significant moves in the market lately, drawing attention from investors. Despite a relatively low ROE of 2.6%, the stock trend has shown strong resilience even when the broader market dips. Gilead's stock has continually outpaced market returns, with institutional owners comprising 86% of its shareholders. Despite mixed results in Q1 earnings, Gilead announced a notable increase in its dividend to $0.77, attracting more shareholder interest. Meanwhile, Q1 earnings were not all smooth sailing, with Gilead registering an unexpected miss on the EPS estimates, leading to some volatility in the market. A flop in the company's surprise lung cancer treatment came as a blow, causing the stock to drop. However, Gilead soon bounced back, posting gains amidst market lows. Engaging in strategic collaborations, the company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Xilio for the Tumor-Activated IL-12 Program, thus solidifying its position in the Oncology market. There's notable excitement around its hepatitis B drug, Vemlidy, which recently received European approval. Meanwhile, Gilead also plans to acquire CymaBay for $4.3 billion, betting big on liver disease treatment.
