Daina Graybosch’s rating is based on Gilead Sciences’ recent positive developments in their oncology portfolio, particularly with the drug Trodelvy. The successful results from the ASCENT-04 trial, presented at the ASCO meeting, highlighted the efficacy of Trodelvy in combination with pembrolizumab for treating frontline PD-L1+ triple-negative breast cancer. This combination is expected to become a new standard of care, potentially adding significant revenue to Gilead’s portfolio.
Furthermore, the market has not fully appreciated the potential of Trodelvy, and there is an opportunity for Gilead’s stock to rise as more data becomes available, particularly from the upcoming ASCENT-03 trial. The anticipated inclusion in NCCN guidelines and potential FDA approval further strengthen the case for a Buy rating, as these developments could drive increased adoption of Trodelvy in clinical practice.
