What believers are saying

  • Apogee acquisition closed in 2026, expanding AbbVie’s immunology pipeline beyond Skyrizi and Rinvoq.
  • EU approvals for RINVOQ and EPKINLY in September 2026 broaden ex-U.S. revenue.
  • JUVMO launches in October 2026, adding a fresh neuroscience revenue line.

What critics are saying

  • Humira, Skyrizi, and Rinvoq concentration keeps AbbVie exposed if immunology growth slows in 2027.
  • Niaspan antitrust MDL and Biocell ALCL settlements carried $1.7 billion litigation accrual by June 2026.
  • Generic ubrogepant and atogepant suits threaten Ubrelvy and Qulipta exclusivity within years.

What makes AbbVie unique

  • Skyrizi and Rinvoq anchor AbbVie’s post-Humira immunology franchise across 11 EU RINVOQ indications.
  • JUVMO’s September 28, 2026 FDA approval gives AbbVie first-in-class Parkinson’s D1/D5 therapy.
  • AbbVie pairs blockbuster cash flows with Apogee, Iambic, and Valkai deal-making.

AbbVie wins FDA nod for at-home Skyrizi starts in Crohn's; sales boost seen after 60-90 days

AbbVie won US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval on October 23 for an at-home start to Skyrizi in adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. Patients previously had to begin with intravenous infusions; they can now take the first doses at home with an on-body injector. By Week 12, 74% of patients new to advanced therapy reached clinical remission, against 27% on placebo. Johnson & Johnson's rival Tremfya won similar approval about 19 months earlier. Chief commercial officer Jeff Stewart said full paid access "will probably take 60 or 90 days" because insurers must approve the regimen. Sales impact should therefore come mostly after the fourth quarter. AbbVie reports third-quarter results on October 30. It guides for revenue of about $17.2 billion; Skyrizi's franchise sold $17.562 billion in 2025.

Abbott stock: $247,767 in shares yields $500 a month in dividends ahead of Q3 earnings

Abbott Laboratories will report third-quarter earnings before the market opens on Wednesday, October 21. Analysts expect earnings of $1.41 per share, up from $1.30 a year earlier, and revenue of $12.99 billion, against $11.37 billion last year. On October 16, TD Cowen analyst Joshua Jennings reiterated a Buy rating and a $135 price target. Abbott pays a quarterly dividend of 63 cents per share ($2.52 a year), a yield of 2.42%. To earn $500 a month ($6,000 a year) from dividends alone, an investor would need about 2,381 shares, or roughly $247,767.

Retirees swap Social Security for 5 dividend stocks yielding up to 6.64%

Retirees looking for income beyond Social Security are turning to dividend stocks. The 2027 cost-of-living adjustment is tracking toward 3.3%, and five companies from different industries were screened for dividend safety first, then yield. Verizon yields 6.64% and Altria 6.17%. Verizon's free cash flow guidance of $21.94 billion to $22.14 billion covers its roughly $11.76 billion annual dividend. Altria's payout is about 79% of the low end of its 2026 earnings guidance. Realty Income pays monthly at a 5.99% yield and has raised its dividend 115 consecutive quarters. Enbridge yields 5.95%. AbbVie yields 2.48%, but its quarterly dividend has grown from $0.40 in 2013 to $1.73 in 2026. Risks include satellite competition for Verizon, falling cigarette volumes for Altria, and currency swings for Enbridge.

Merck and AbbVie shares jump 39% and 24% in 2026 as dividend picks for a decade

Healthcare stocks are rebounding in 2026, led by Merck and AbbVie. Merck shares have climbed 39% and AbbVie's 24%, against about 12% for the S&P 500. Merck's second-quarter revenue rose 5% to $16.6 billion, beating Wall Street estimates. Keytruda sales hit $8.4 billion, though the drug will likely lose patent exclusivity by 2028. A subcutaneous version, Keytruda Qlex, may help retain market share. Merck's forward dividend yield is 2.3%. AbbVie's revenue grew 10.2% to almost $17 billion, with adjusted earnings per share up 22.9% to $3.65. Skyrizi and Rinvoq sales each rose about 24%, and neither faces US competition until 2033 and 2037 respectively. AbbVie has raised its dividend for 54 straight years, including its time as part of Abbott Laboratories.
