What critics are saying

  • Humira sales fell 36.1% in Q2 2026; biosimilars keep compressing cash flows.
  • Imbruvica dropped 29.4% in Q2 2026, exposing oncology weakness and IRA pricing damage.
  • Apogee dilutes adjusted EPS through 2027; if Skyrizi stalls, AbbVie loses its bridge.

AbbVie shifts focus from declining Humira to $8B Skyrizi and Rinvoq growth engines

AbbVie has dramatically shifted its focus away from Humira, its once-flagship drug now facing biosimilar competition. On the company's July 2026 earnings call, Humira received just one sentence, noting global sales of $706 million, down 36.1% operationally but in line with expectations. This marks a stark change from previous quarters when management detailed the reasons behind Humira's decline, including biosimilar competition and molecule compression in the US market. AbbVie now emphasises growth drivers instead. Skyrizi generated $5.5 billion in Q2 2026, whilst Rinvoq exceeded $2.5 billion, both growing above 20% operationally. The company also acquired Apogee Therapeutics in September 2026. Despite the reduced attention, Humira still contributes approximately 4% of AbbVie's quarterly revenue of nearly $17 billion, though management no longer publicly projects its ultimate decline trajectory.

Billionaire hedge fund manager doubles down on AbbVie and Costco dividend stocks

Israel Englander's Millennium Management more than doubled its stakes in AbbVie and Costco during the second quarter. AbbVie's revenue grew 10.2% year-over-year to $17 billion in Q2, driven by immunology drugs Skyrizi and Rinvoq. The company recently acquired Apogee Therapeutics for $10.9 billion in cash and is developing ABBV-295, a monthly weight-loss treatment. AbbVie is a Dividend King with over 50 consecutive years of payout increases. Costco's Q3 fiscal 2026 revenue rose 11.6% to $70.5 billion, with comparable sales up 9.8%. The company has raised dividends for 22 consecutive years. However, Costco shares are down 4% over the past year whilst trading at 40.8 times forward earnings, above the consumer staples average of 21.6 times. Both companies maintain strong fundamentals despite different market challenges.

AbbVie beats Pfizer as top dividend stock with 53-year payout streak and 203% growth

AbbVie offers a smarter long-term dividend investment than Pfizer, despite Pfizer's higher 6.1% yield. AbbVie holds Dividend King status with 53 consecutive years of dividend increases and raised its payout by 5.5% this year to $1.73 per share. Over the past decade, AbbVie increased its dividend by more than 203% compared to Pfizer's 51%. AbbVie's revenue grew 138% during this period, whilst Pfizer's rose just 18%. AbbVie successfully navigated Humira's patent cliff through home-grown immunology drugs Skyrizi and Rinvoq. By 2025, these two drugs generated combined annual sales exceeding $25 billion, replacing Humira's peak revenue and pushing total company revenue to record highs. AbbVie's free-cash-flow dividend payout ratio stands at 65%, lower than Pfizer's 89%.

AAPS PharmSci 360: CMC strategies, part 1.

AAPS PharmSci 360: CMC strategies, part 1. In a preview of their panel discussion at AAPS PharmSci 360 2026, Alfred Rumondor, PhD, AbbVie, and Swita Singh, PhD, Bristol Myers Squibb, discussed how CMC review practices are evolving and what that means for manufacturing strategy. PharmTech spoke with Alfred Rumondor, PhD, CMC due diligence for external assets at AbbVie, and Swita Singh, PhD, Senior Director and Strategic CMC Leader at Bristol Myers Squibb, to learn more about their upcoming panel discussion, Navigating CMC Strategy in the Current Landscape, at, which is being held from October 25-28 in New Orleans. In part 1 of this 3-part interview, Rumondor and Singh discussed how chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) review practices are evolving and what that means for manufacturing strategy. Singh identified the most consequential shift as a move from informal, reviewer-dependent flexibility to formal, risk-based flexibility applied consistently across the product life cycle. She pointed to Operation TrailBlazer and updated phase 1 CMC guidance as examples, stating they are reducing required manufacturing data pre-investigational new drug application (IND). Singh also pointed out that cell and gene therapy programs no longer need 3 independent process performance qualification batches and can flex specifications for small-batch production. AI-driven tools and emerging credibility frameworks are reinforcing this trend by helping generate cleaner data packages for faster, more consistent regulatory decisions. Singh cautioned, however, that companies must build "risk justification muscle" rather than simply accepting flexibility at face value. Reduced requirements should be treated as deferral, not elimination, of data obligations; organizations need clear plans for when deferred data will be generated and which milestones trigger it. She emphasized investing early in comparability infrastructure, leveraging platform and prior-knowledge pathways, and engaging proactively with regulators. Rumondor addressed the pressure to compress development timelines. He argued the real question isn't whether compression is safe, but how to do it properly by working smarter rather than skipping steps. He cited premature form selection without adequate screening as a common shortcut that later may bring costly bridging and comparability studies, increasing both timeline and program risk. Compressed timelines are achievable, but only when teams rigorously plan the full development path upfront, according to Rumondor. About the speakers. Alfred Rumondor, PhD, is Director, Development Sciences Licensing and Acquisitions, at AbbVie. Dr. Swita Singh holds a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences and brings over fifteen years of distinguished expertise in Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) development across biologics, antibody drug conjugates, and small molecules, with a proven record of driving strategic initiatives, optimizing complex business processes, and leading cross-functional teams to achieve regulatory and operational excellence. Recognized for delivering innovative, end-to-end CMC strategies that guide programs from early clinical development through successful commercialization, she has cultivated talent and shaped organizational culture throughout her career, while her commitment to stakeholder communication and cross-functional collaboration has consistently advanced program objectives across the industry. Having built her expertise at Pfizer and Eli Lilly and Company, Dr. Singh currently serves at Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS), where she continues to lead CMC strategy in support of transformative therapeutic development.
