What are Wall Street analysts saying about AbbVie stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about AbbVie stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "AbbVie’s key drug Humira has been performing well based on strong demand trends, despite new competition. Moreover, Imbruvica has multibillion dollar potential and AbbVie is exploring the possibility of label expansion into solid tumors and autoimmune diseases. AbbVie’s shares have outperformed the industry in the past year supported by a series of positive news including promising data from several pivotal studies, regulatory approvals, including its competitive HCV medicine Mavyret and two approvals for Imbruvica and settlement of its Humira patent disputes with Amgen. In fact. Mavyret has become a major growth driver for AbbVie in a short time on the market. Also, several pivotal data readouts and regulatory milestones are expected in 2018. However, Viekira’s sales continue to be hurt by intensifying competition." (3/20/2018)
