Q2 Results at a Glance

  • Revenue: $17.0 billion, +10.2% year-over-year
  • Earnings per share (EPS): $2.03 GAAP (+290.4% YoY), $3.65 adjusted (+22.9% YoY)
  • Operating margin (as a % of revenue): 37.9% GAAP, 48.3% adjusted (excluding interest, taxes, and depreciation/amortization)

Guidance Update

AbbVie lowered its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $13.87 to $14.07, down from $13.91 to $14.11 previously. The revision reflects a $0.14-per-share dilutive impact from the pending acquisition of Apogee Therapeutics, expected to close in the third quarter. It also includes a $0.58-per-share charge tied to acquisition-related research and development expenses (IPR&D and milestone payments). AbbVie Chairman and CEO Robert Michael said the Apogee deal will strengthen the company's immunology franchise and enhance shareholder value, adding that AbbVie's long-term outlook remains very strong.


Market Reaction

Reuters and other outlets noted that AbbVie's second-quarter revenue beat market expectations. Barron's and Yahoo Finance, however, reported that the lowered profit outlook tied to the Apogee acquisition and other earnings metrics fell short of market expectations. Following the results, AbbVie shares fell 2.22% to $257.45. The specific purchase price for the Apogee Therapeutics acquisition was not disclosed in the filing.
