AbbVie traded up 6.6% following the results while Gilead Sciences was down 2.7%.
The euphoria surrounding Trump’s November win lit a fire under major indices, but potential tariffs have caused the market to do a 180 in 2025. While some of the biotechnology stocks have shown solid performance in this choppy environment, the group has generally underperformed, with share prices down 5.2% on average over the last month. United Therapeutics is down 3.6% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $388.02 (compared to the current share price of $297.04).
