Gilead's HIV franchise, which generated $19.612 billion in 2024, is facing future funding challenges. The company's mixed oncology investments have led to a "Hold" recommendation for GILD stock. Despite these challenges, Gilead remains focused on driving innovation in virology, oncology, and immunology, investing in world-class science to change the way cancer is treated.

In a recent development, Sino-American biotech BeiGene announced its intention to discontinue the clinical development program for ociperlimab (BGB-A1217). This decision could have implications for Gilead, as it may affect the competitive landscape in the oncology space. Additionally, Gilead's exit from the ARC-10 trial with Arcus Biosciences has been noted, highlighting the company's strategic shifts in its oncology portfolio.
