On October 9, UBS raised its target price for AbbVie (ABBV.N) from $260 to $275, stating that investors' focus is shifting from blockbuster drugs Skyrizi and Rinvoq to the next wave of growth in its immunology business. UBS also noted that other projects in AbbVie’s R&D pipeline remain robust. It expects strong third-quarter performances from Skyrizi and Rinvoq, with respective sales reaching $5.7 billion and $2.7 billion. Special attention was given to upcoming combined treatment data of Skyrizi for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, with mid-stage trial results to be released later this month. UBS believes that the drug lutikizumab, for inflammatory skin diseases, has a potential market size of $1-2 billion, and pointed out that Rinvoq sales are likely to surpass $500 million. The report also mentioned positive late-stage clinical data for cancer drugs Epkinly and etentamig, as well as the recent launch of the Parkinson’s disease medication tavapadon. UBS expects third-quarter earnings per share (EPS) to reach $3.76, within AbbVie’s forecast range of $3.73 to $3.77. Including intraday fluctuations, AbbVie’s stock has risen 21% so far this year.
