Gilead price target raised to $140 from $131 at Mizuho

Mizuho raised the firm’s price target on Gilead (GILD) to $140 from $131 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm raised its price target primarily due to: Biktarvy’s loss of exclusivity in the U.S. now expected to be 2036 instead of 2033 post generic lititgation settlements; the total addressable market for PrEP could be much larger than currently appreciated, and; the firm now models roughly 5% growth for Gilead’s HIV business overall, from roughly 3% prior.
