AbbVie Shares Fall Amid Rising Revenue and Intensifying Competition

In recent market movements, AbbVie faced a decline in its share price, dropping 4.55% on May 6, marking a consecutive two-day dip, with a cumulative decrease of 5.70%. Meanwhile, financial data reveals that as of March 31, 2025, AbbVie's total revenue reached $13.343 billion, an 8.39% increase year-on-year, while net profit attributable to shareholders decreased by 6.06% to $1.286 billion.

AbbVie continues to establish itself as a leading research-focused global biopharmaceutical company, developing and marketing cutting-edge therapies for complex and severe diseases. Its product line targets chronic autoimmune disorders such as rheumatology, gastroenterology, and dermatology; oncology, especially blood cancers; virology, including HCV and HIV; neurological disorders like Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis; metabolic diseases including thyroid conditions; and other serious health problems. AbbVie's robust clinical pipeline includes promising new drugs in immunology, oncology, and neurology, as well as targeted investments in cystic fibrosis and women's health.

The competition in the global pharmaceutical landscape is intensifying, especially in areas where AbbVie's products face emerging rivals. Currently, AbbVie, in collaboration with Roche, has developed Venetoclax, the only approved Bcl-2 inhibitor. This treatment, which generated $2.5 billion in sales in 2024, is on track to exceed $6 billion by 2026. However, its market dominance is being challenged by domestic contenders rapidly progressing towards clinical development, aiming to introduce alternative Bcl-2 inhibitors.

Despite its sturdy market position, AbbVie is witnessing a fierce race among local companies venturing into the Bcl-2 inhibitor space. With 16 domestic clinical trial approvals underway, key players are aggressively advancing with promising candidates, intensifying competition and promising a dynamic future for this therapeutic category.
