AbbVie

AbbVie is a US drug company. It sells medicines for immunology, neuroscience and cancer, and aesthetics products through Allergan Aesthetics. Its largest medicines are Skyrizi and Rinvoq for psoriasis, arthritis and bowel diseases. Other products include Humira, Vraylar, Botox, Ubrelvy, Qulipta, Vyalev, Venclexta, Imbruvica, Elahere and the dermal filler Juvederm.

In 2025, net revenues were $61.2 billion. In Q3 2026, net revenues were $17.4 billion: immunology gave $9.2 billion, neuroscience $3.4 billion, oncology $1.7 billion and aesthetics $1.2 billion. Skyrizi and Rinvoq together gave about 49% of Q3 2026 revenue. The US composition of matter patents on Skyrizi and Rinvoq are expected to expire in 2033.

AbbVie trades at a premium because investors pay for fast growth after the loss of Humira exclusivity. Skyrizi grew 22.7% and Rinvoq grew 23.9% in Q3 2026, neuroscience grew 19.4%, and total net revenues grew 10.3% even though Humira fell 31.2%. Investors also pay for a dividend that rises every year: AbbVie raised it 5.2% for 2027. For the premium to be earned, four things must be true.

Skyrizi and Rinvoq must keep growing about 20% a year, because they give about half of revenue. The new medicines must add growth: Vyalev, the Parkinson's tablet Juvmo, the myeloma drug etentamig, which is under FDA review, and lutikizumab and the Apogee drugs in immunology. The Botox Medicare price, set to start in 2028, must stay blocked: a federal court vacated the selection of Botox on October 29, 2026, but the government can appeal. AbbVie must lower its debt of about $80.9 billion after it borrowed $18.0 billion in 2026.

The full-year 2026 report and the 2027 guidance in early February 2027 are the next test. The premium can shrink if Skyrizi and Rinvoq slow down, if the court ruling on Botox is reversed, or if large purchases add more debt.

Every filing on SEC EDGAR (CIK 1551152)

• AbbVie depends on two medicines. Skyrizi and Rinvoq gave about 49% of Q3 2026 revenue. Their US composition of matter patents are expected to expire in 2033, and generic Rinvoq tablets are not expected in the US before April 2037 under patent settlements. New competitors in psoriasis and bowel diseases, such as oral drugs, can slow their growth.
• US drug price policy can lower prices. CMS selected Botox for Medicare price negotiation from 2028. A court vacated this selection on October 29, 2026, but the government can appeal. The voluntary pricing agreement of January 2026 also lowers some prices.
• AbbVie has high debt from its purchases. Debt was about $80.9 billion at September 30, 2026, after $18.0 billion of new notes in 2026. More large purchases can delay debt reduction.
• Aesthetics revenue is weak. It fell 1.4% in Q3 2026, and Juvederm fell 11.9%, because consumers spend less on elective treatments.
• Health plans sue AbbVie. A class action filed in January 2025 says that AbbVie's Humira rebates blocked biosimilar competition.

AbbVie funds itself mainly with senior notes. At September 30, 2026, the current portion of long-term debt was $8.7 billion and long-term debt was $72.2 billion, for total debt of about $80.9 billion, up from $67.5 billion at December 31, 2025. Read more
