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 is performing well 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. Mavyret’s launch has also been stronger than expected. Mavyret has become a major growth driver for AbbVie in a short time on the market. Moreover, AbbVie has a strong late-stage pipeline with label expansions for new and existing products expected over the next few years. Several pivotal data readouts and regulatory milestones are expected in 2018. AbbVie’s shares have slightly outperformed the industry this year. However, Viekira’s sales continue to be hurt by intensifying competition. Also, potential long-term competition to Humira is a concern. Estimates have remained stable ahead of Q2 earnings. AbbVie has a positive record of earnings surprises in the recent quarters." (7/14/2018)

BMO Capital Markets analysts commented, "On its fiscal 3Q18 earnings call, MDT said it does not expect the first-in- human use of its surgical robot in the next couple of months as the company had intended. Recall, MDT had previously said that it expected to be in clinical use by end of its fiscal 2018." (2/15/2018)
