49

out of 100

Abbvie Inc. earns a fundamental-quality score of 49 out of 100, profiling it as a company with demanding fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its financial strength (net debt 3.45× EBITDA).

What the company does

AbbVie is a large U.S. pharmaceutical company. For years it relied on a single blockbuster drug (Humira); today its challenge is to grow with its new generation of medicines, especially in immunology and aesthetics.

What will shape its future

  • Replacing Humira with its newer drugs (Skyrizi, Rinvoq) after losing the patent.
  • The strength of its product portfolio and its ability to innovate or acquire new drugs.
  • Pressure on drug prices and patent expirations.
