Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 84 days.
The thesis — published October 31, 2025
Gilead beat expectations and now thinks HIV sales will grow about 5% this year. Sales of Veklury fell 60% compared to last year, which drags results. The stock looks beaten down and could bounce back as investors see steadier HIV trends over the next 0-3 months. Still, progress in cancer drugs and any pricing news are key. Consider buying in small steps and wait for signs that more buyers are stepping in.
Primary drivers
- Company now expects HIV sales to grow about 5% this year.
- Shares look beaten down, which can set up a short-term bounce.
- Sales of Veklury fell sharply, which weighs on total results.
