Luisa Hector’s rating is based on AbbVie’s robust growth prospects and strategic positioning in the pharmaceutical industry. The company has effectively managed the transition following the patent expiry of Humira by introducing superior products like Skyrizi and Rinvoq in the immunology sector. Furthermore, AbbVie’s oncology division has been strengthened with the addition of antibody-drug conjugates, and recent acquisitions have improved the outlook in the neuroscience sector despite previous setbacks.
AbbVie’s strong research and development returns, particularly from Skyrizi and Rinvoq, have consistently exceeded the cost of capital, indicating a secure recovery from past challenges. The company’s strategic investments and successful deal-making have positioned it well for future growth, supported by substantial cash flow projections. With upcoming catalysts such as Epkinly’s approval and new data releases, coupled with a valuation that reflects its superior profile, AbbVie offers a compelling investment opportunity with a significant upside potential.
In another report released yesterday, Morgan Stanley also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $255.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 51 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of ABBV in relation to earlier this year.
