AbbVie Investment Narrative Recap

To own AbbVie, you generally have to believe its newer immunology, neuroscience and oncology drugs can offset Humira’s erosion and support the dividend despite high debt and thin recent margins.

If regulators ultimately clear atogepant for acute treatment, investors may view it as incremental support for earnings resilience, but the core questions around biosimilar competition and healthcare cost controls remain central.
