Gilead Sciences (GILD) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.90 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.67 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.72 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 13.77%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this HIV and hepatitis C drugmaker would post earnings of $1.58 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.02, delivering a surprise of 27.85%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
Gilead, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, posted revenues of $7.57 billion for the quarter ended December 2024, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.27%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $7.12 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Gilead shares have added about 3.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 3.1%.
What's Next for Gilead?
While Gilead has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Gilead: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.82 on $6.66 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $7.59 on $28.27 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Medical - Biomedical and Genetics is currently in the top 26% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Emergent Biosolutions (EBS), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended December 2024.
This biopharmaceutical company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.35 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +54.6%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Emergent Biosolutions' revenues are expected to be $252.61 million, down 8.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY) Beats Q4 Earnings and Revenue Estimates

An analyst initiated coverage of Emergent BioSolutions (NYSE: EBS) stock as the last trading week of 2024 kicked off, and investors reacted quite positively to the move. On the news, they piled into the stock, ultimately sending it to a nearly 12% gain on the day. That contrasted very favorably to the stumbling S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), which ended Monday down 1%.
More than an emerging company
Emergent, which benefits from a wider-than-average range of revenue-generating activities, is now being tracked by H.C. Wainwright's Raghuram Selvaraju. He launched his coverage with a buy recommendation at a price target of $15 per share. That is 62% higher than the stock's current level, even after that almost 12% increase.

According to reports, Selvaraju believes Emergent is well diversified in its offerings, and it is active in several medical segments that have fine potential for growth. He feels the company's Narcan opioid reversal spray will continue to experience heavy demand due to the continuing epidemic of such drugs in the U.S.
The analyst also waxed bullish about the company's vaccines business, pointing out that it has jabs for monkeypox and smallpox. The former has been in the news lately as a possible global healthcare threat.
A stock to consider as we move into 2025
News of Sevaraju's fresh and positive take on Emergent puts a nice cap on the company's 2024. Heading into next year, with various illnesses that might become the next pandemic, it's well positioned to be a frontline soldier in the next worrying healthcare emergency.
Even if that doesn't occur, the analyst's view that Emergent's business is well (and effectively) diversified is accurate. This alone makes the stock worthy of consideration as a buy.
