Stock Pulse
AbbVie received European Commission approval for Rinvoq to treat giant cell arteritis, expanding its market reach and strengthening its immunology portfolio [2], [5], [9]. Despite this positive news and being highlighted as a strong dividend stock [6], ClearBridge Growth Strategy sold its AbbVie holdings due to concerns about slowing growth post-Humira exclusivity loss [1]. AbbVie updated its full-year adjusted earnings guidance to $11.99-$12.19 per share, anticipating a $248 million charge for acquired R&D [11]. While recent stock performance has declined [3], future earnings and revenue projections remain positive [3], and a temporary reprieve from potential pharmaceutical import tariffs offers some relief [8]. An executive's planned sale of $12.4 million in stock adds some uncertainty [13].
