Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 33% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 9, 2025
AbbVie looks like a large drug maker whose share price fell too far and may be set for a short-term bounce. Investor mood improved after a major bank raised its target to $251 and the company shared encouraging study news in eye care and HIV. If interest stays firm, the next 0-3 months could see a recovery. Key risks: pressure on medicine prices, tough rivals in immunology, and possible policy changes.
Primary drivers
- Price looks beaten down; recent buying trend appears to be improving.
- Bank of America lifted its target to $251, boosting confidence.
- Encouraging study results in eye care and HIV improved sentiment.
- Healthcare stocks can hold up better when markets get choppy.
How it played out
ABBV: target was not reached
