Teva выглядит как компания, у которой восстановление прибыли уже заметно в отчётности, но оценка рынка пока не выглядит дешёвой. P/E на уровне 28.98 выше медианы отрасли на 35.9%, а P/B 5.55 и P/FCF 37.34 существенно превышают отраслевые ориентиры, что ограничивает потенциал переоценки. При этом P/S ниже медианы на 22.1%, а выручка за последние периоды росла с 4.23 до 4.71 млрд, что подтверждает сохранение масштабов бизнеса. Рентабельность улучшилась: чистая маржа 8.17%, операционная маржа 12.50% и ROE 19.95% выглядят неплохо, но ROA 3.54% остаётся скромной, а ROI не показывает вклада в эффективность капитала. Валовая маржа 51.79% и рост gross profit поддерживают качество бизнеса, однако по сравнению с отраслью эти уровни не дают явного преимущества. Баланс остаётся напряжённым: debt/equity 1.89 всё ещё очень высок относительно медианы, quick ratio 0.77 и current ratio 1.04 указывают на ограниченную краткосрочную ликвидность. Долгосрочный долг 14.99 млрд остаётся значительным, хотя он снизился по сравнению с более ранними периодами, что является позитивным сигналом. Собственный капитал вырос до 7.91 млрд, а cash on hand увеличился до 3.56 млрд, что смягчает долговой риск, но не снимает его полностью. Операционная прибыль в последнем периоде просела до 300 млн после более сильных кварталов, поэтому устойчивость текущего темпа восстановления ещё нужно подтвердить. Дивидендная доходность 0.58% слишком низкая, чтобы стать заметным фактором поддержки оценки. В целом фундаментал скорее поддерживает умеренно осторожный взгляд: бизнес прибыльный и растущий, но дорогие мультипликаторы и высокая долговая нагрузка ограничивают апсайд. Для инвестора это означает, что целевая цена должна учитывать улучшение качества отчётности, но без агрессивного повышения ожиданий.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited

Прибыль и выручка улучшаются, но Teva остаётся дорогой по P/E, P/B и P/FCF при высокой долговой нагрузке и слабой ликвидности.

Key Points
Teva has a handful of new biosimilars on the market, with more to come.
Those assets will doubtlessly deliver some top-line growth.
But generic drugmakers aren't known for being great investments.
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE: TEVA) has clawed back from the brink like few drugmakers have. After a long stretch of poor performance, a company once buried under debt, patent cliffs, and litigation is now up by 97% in the last 12 months. The bull case credits its expanding biosimilars lineup, and that quickly growing segment could mean the stock has more room to run.
Still, a recently risen share price and a growing product line are not the same as a stock worth buying today. Will biosimilars truly move the needle for a business this size? Is the easy money already made, or is there more to come? Let's find out.

What the biosimilar build-out will accomplish
If you aren't familiar, a biosimilar drug is a near-copy of a biologic medicine like an antibody or protein. Unlike generic medicines that are small molecules which can be synthesized fairly inexpensively at scale, biosimilars are almost always quite costly and fairly slow to make, which is why Teva sources most of its biosimilars through a biotech partner, Alvotech, that develops and manufactures them while Teva handles commercialization in the U.S.
That means that Teva captures only a slice of the proceeds in a category that's characterized by narrow margins and a high degree of competition based around providing lower prices. In other words, biosimilars launch at steep discounts to their branded equivalents by necessity and then are forced to erode further with each new entrant.
The copies of AbbVie's Humira are the cautionary tale to know here. Uptake crawled for over a year until pharmacy-benefit managers (PBMs) swapped in versions priced far below the brand name medicine. Even so, the Humira copies took only about 21% of volume by late 2024, and Teva's biosimilar Selarsdi now battles a handful of rivals for what's left of the pie.
As for what's already approved and what's coming, Teva has two Alvotech-partnered biosimilars on the U.S. market so far: Simlandi, its copy of Humira, which launched in May 2024, and Selarsdi, its Stelara copy, which followed in February 2025. Three more are working through the the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Proposed biosimilars to the inflammatory-disease drug Simponi and the eye drug Eylea were resubmitted in June 2026 and are under a six-month review, while a proposed interchangeable biosimilar to the bowel-disease drug Entyvio was accepted for review that same month.
On that note, Teva expects its biosimilars business to roughly double to around $800 million by 2027.
The real comeback is elsewhere
So if biosimilars aren't the story of Teva's resurgence, what is?
In short, the rebound is currently running on Teva's branded drugs, led by Austedo, which is prescribed for the involuntary movements of tardive dyskinesia and Huntington's disease and reached about $2.3 billion in sales in 2025, with smaller contributions from Ajovy for migraine and Uzedy for schizophrenia.
The issue with buying this stock now, in hopes of riding its future growth, is that Teva presently trades around 25 times its trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, which is a fair price for a specialty drugmaker and not really a bargain. The formerly distressed valuation that made this stock an easy win is long gone; its 2026 revenue is set to be flat to lower.
The turnaround is ongoing, and it will probably continue. Nonetheless, investors have bet on Teva's promise of cheap, efficient scale of generic medicines before and been punished for it, and with the easy rerating spent, the pharma industry offers better opportunities for growth elsewhere. This one is worth watching but not buying.

Teva Acquires Emalex For $700 Mln; Ecopipam NDA Planned In H2 2026

Amneal Pharmaceuticals AMRX is heading into 2026 with a catalyst-and-risk setup that is easy to oversimplify. The market often frames the story around one branded product. That misses the broader earnings engine across retail generics, complex injectables and biosimilars, plus government distribution.
The real question for investors is whether the company can keep fundamentals improving even as Rytary faces generic pressure, and whether the current valuation already discounts that swing factor.
AMRX Setup Looks Better Than a One-Product Story
Amneal is not a single-drug narrative. The company operates through three segments: Affordable Medicines (retail generics, injectables and biosimilars), Specialty (a neurology-heavy branded portfolio) and AvKARE (distribution to U.S. federal government and other channels).
That mix matters because it diversifies cash flow and reduces dependency on any one product cycle. In fiscal 2025, total net revenues were $3.0 billion, with Affordable Medicines contributing $1.7 billion (57.8%), Specialty contributing $528.5 million (17.5%), and AvKARE contributing $744.7 million (24.7%).
For context, larger peers like Teva Pharmaceutical Industries TEVA and Viatris VTRS also lean on scale and breadth across generics and complex products to navigate industry pricing pressure.
Amneal’s Rytary Erosion Is the 2026 Swing Factor
Management expects Specialty revenue growth to be about flat in 2026, with Crexont growth offsetting anticipated generic erosion of Rytary. An authorized generic version of Rytary has already launched, and the company expects additional generic entrants.
That dynamic makes 2026 a transition year for the Specialty segment. The setup improves if Crexont and other brands scale enough to restore momentum after the loss of exclusivity, with management expecting the segment to resume a stronger growth trajectory from 2027.
AMRX Valuation Context Versus Sales Multiples
The market is pricing AMRX at a discount on a sales-multiple basis. The stock is trading at 1.48X trailing 12-month sales per share versus 2.19X for the Zacks sub-industry, 2.44X for the Zacks Medical sector, and 6.00X for the S&P 500.
That gap suggests investors are applying a meaningful haircut for execution and competition risk, including the expected Specialty headwind and ongoing generics pricing pressure. The question is whether operational delivery in 2026 can narrow that discount over time.
Amneal’s 2026 Outlook Still Calls for Progress
Amneal reaffirmed 2026 net revenue guidance of $3.05 billion to $3.15 billion. The key shift was profitability. The company raised its adjusted EBITDA outlook to $740 million to $770 million and lifted adjusted earnings per share to 95 cents to $1.05.
Holding revenue steady while lifting earnings ranges points to better mix, efficiency, and cash generation as the portfolio tilts toward higher-value products. That matters in a year when Specialty growth may be constrained by Rytary pressure.
AMRX: What Would Make the “Pre-Erosion” Case Work
Investors focused on the “pre-erosion” window in 2026 will likely want to see Affordable Medicines accelerate as projected. Management expects that segment’s net revenues to grow 7% to 8% in 2026, supported by new product launches and complex products.
A second checkpoint is evidence that the complex portfolio is carrying its weight. In the first quarter of 2026, Affordable Medicines revenue growth was driven by strong performance in the complex portfolio, including Women’s Health and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder medicines.
Third, AvKARE needs to remain a stabilizer. While AvKARE revenues declined 4% year over year in the first quarter as government-channel growth was offset by weakness in low-margin distribution, the segment remains a meaningful contributor to the overall revenue base.
AMNEAL PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. Price and Consensus
Amneal’s Key Near-Term Catalysts and Headwinds
On the positive side, recent launches and approvals are expanding the differentiated injectables portfolio. The Food and Drug Administration approved romidepsin injection solution, which is eligible for Competitive Generic Therapy designation and includes 180 days of market exclusivity.
Amneal is also building out complex categories. The company launched its first two respiratory metered-dose inhalation products in the United States and introduced additional Affordable Medicines products such as bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.01%.
Risks remain straightforward. Pricing competition in U.S. generics can pressure margins, regulatory reviews can take longer than expected, and complex launches carry execution risk. In Specialty, the anticipated Rytary erosion is the defining near-term headwind.
AMRX Decision Framework for Investors
For 2026, the bull case requires three things to go right at the same time: Affordable Medicines delivers the expected acceleration, complex products keep contributing meaningfully, and the Specialty portfolio absorbs Rytary erosion without derailing the broader profit trajectory implied by the higher adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share outlook.
Into 2027, a positive surprise pathway centers on reacceleration in Specialty as newer brands scale after the loss of exclusivity year, while the company continues expanding biosimilars and higher-value injectables capabilities.
The thesis can break if pricing pressure overwhelms mix improvement, approvals and launches slip, or Rytary erosion outpaces offsets. In a competitive generics market, execution is the edge.

Is Amneal a Buy Before Rytary Generic Erosion?

(RTTNews) - Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (TEVA), a pharmaceuticals company, on Friday announced new IMPACT-TD and RIM-TD data evaluating AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR in treating Tardive dyskinesia. The data was presented at the Psych Congress Elevate conference.
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a debilitating, chronic movement disorder affecting one in four people who take certain mental health treatments. It is characterized by uncontrollable, abnormal, repetitive movements of the face, torso, and other body parts.
AUSTEDO (deutetrabenazine) and AUSTEDO XR (deutetrabenazine extended release) are vesicular transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitors, and received FDA approval in 2017 and 2023, respectively. They are used to treat tardive dyskinesia and chorea associated with Huntington's disease.
IMPACT-TD is the largest real-world study of TD and evaluated patients with mild symptoms beginning AUSTEDO or AUSTEDO XR therapy. After three months, participant showed an improvement on the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) scale while maintaining their psychiatric stability.
The three-year, open-label RIM-TD study found that patients showed long-term responses on sustained treatment. More than 50% showed AIMS improvement within 15 weeks, and an additional 23% saw improvement after week 15.
The study found that with greater caregiver education and awareness raised through online platforms, diagnosis of TD increased significantly.
TEVA is currently trading at $34.43, up 0.53%.

Teva Presents Positive Data For AUSTEDO And AUSTEDO XR In Treating Tardive Dyskinesia

(RTTNews) - Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (TEVA), a pharmaceuticals company, on Friday announced new data from the real-world study evaluating AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR in treating Huntington's chorea. The results were presented at the Advanced Therapeutics in Movement & Related Disorders congress, 2026.
Huntington's Disease (HD) is a rare, genetic, fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized uncontrollable movements, cognitive deterioration and psychological problems. A prominent manifestation of the disease is chorea, which presents as involuntary, sudden, twisting movements and occurs in about 90% of patients.
AUSTEDO (deutetrabenazine) and AUSTEDO XR (deutetrabenazine extended release) are vesicular transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitors, and received FDA approval in 2017 and 2023, respectively. They are used to treat tardive dyskinesia and chorea associated with Huntington's disease.
A real-world, decentralized study was conducted by the company in collaboration with the Huntington study group, to evaluate chorea and its impact on patients' and caregivers' quality of life.
The study initially surveyed patients with Huntington's to assess the disruptive effect of chorea on daily life. The non-interventional, online survey determined that patients and caregivers faced significant obstacles across social life, daily activities and in recreational work due to Huntington's chorea.

Teva Reports Positive Real-World Data For AUSTEDO And AUSTEDO XR In Treating Huntington's Chorea

Generic medicines remain one of the most important pillars of global healthcare, but the industry's growth drivers are changing. While traditional small-molecule generics continue to account for substantial prescription volumes, intense competition and ongoing price erosion have reduced their ability to generate meaningful profit growth. As a result, success in the generic drug industry increasingly depends on product differentiation rather than scale alone.
Across the sector, manufacturers are investing in areas with higher barriers to entry, including biosimilars, complex generics, specialty injectables and other difficult-to-develop therapies. These categories offer longer growth runways, more durable competitive positions and stronger margin potential than conventional generics. At the same time, companies are streamlining operations, optimizing portfolios and allocating capital to products that can support sustainable growth beyond the traditional commodity-generic model.
Here, we highlight three generic drugmakers — Sandoz SDZNY, Teva Pharmaceuticals TEVA and Viatris VTRS — that appear well-positioned to capitalize on this evolution within the industry.
Industry Description
The Medical - Generic Drugs industry comprises companies that develop and market chemically/biologically identical versions of a brand-name drug once the patents providing exclusivity to branded drugs expire. These drugs can be divided into generic and biosimilar categories based on their composition. The generic segment is controlled by a few large drugmakers and the generic units of large pharma companies. Several smaller companies also develop generic versions of branded drugs, which are significantly cheaper than the originals. Competition in this segment is stiff, resulting in thin margins for manufacturing companies. A few companies in this industry have some branded drugs in their portfolio, helping them tap a higher-margin market.
3 Trends Shaping the Future of the Generic Drugs Industry
Loss of Patent Exclusivity Creates New Opportunities: Generic drugmakers depend on the loss of patent exclusivity of branded medicines to bring lower-cost alternatives to market. A company may launch an authorized generic version of a branded product, gaining exclusivity over competing generic versions for several months. Such opportunities can be particularly attractive in complex generics, which typically require greater development expertise and investment than traditional generics. Drugmakers also frequently engage in patent litigation to secure earlier entry into the market for generic products.
Beyond traditional generics, the industry's opportunity set is expanding as more blockbuster biologic drugs lose exclusivity. Recent high-profile launches included biosimilars of J&J’s Stelara, Amgen's Prolia/Xgeva and Regeneron's Eylea. Drugmakers are also advancing biosimilar candidates for Merck's blockbuster oncology drug Keytruda, which is expected to lose patent protection in 2028.
Competition Is Driving a Shift Beyond Traditional Generics: Competition remains intense across the generic drug market. Once a branded drug loses exclusivity, multiple manufacturers often enter the market, leading to price competition and margin pressure. To gain an advantage, drugmakers seek first-to-file (FTF) status, which can provide a period of exclusivity before additional generic competitors enter. Despite these opportunities, the generic market remains crowded, with numerous filings pending before the FDA and several generic and biosimilar launches expected over the next few years.
In response to persistent pricing pressure, companies are increasingly moving beyond commodity generics and investing in differentiated products such as complex generics, specialty injectables and biosimilars. These products typically require greater development expertise and investment, but face fewer competitors and offer stronger margins and more durable revenue opportunities than traditional generics.
Operational Efficiency & Portfolio Optimization Remain Key Priorities: With pricing pressure persisting across many generic drug categories, manufacturers are placing greater emphasis on operational efficiency and disciplined capital allocation. Companies are streamlining product portfolios, discontinuing lower-return programs and focusing resources on products and markets with stronger growth potential. Many drugmakers are also investing in manufacturing productivity, supply-chain optimization and cost-control initiatives to protect profitability. These efforts are helping companies offset pricing headwinds in mature generic markets while creating financial flexibility to invest in higher-growth areas such as biosimilars, complex generics and specialty medicines.

3 Generic Drug Stocks to Keep an Eye On
Sandoz: This Swiss-based generic drugmaker was spun off from Novartis in 2023. During the first quarter of 2026, Sandoz achieved net sales of $2.76 billion, up 3% year over year (excluding Fx). Growth was primarily driven by its biosimilars business, which grew 18%, led by strong demand for Afqlir (biosimilar to Eylea), Pyzchiva (biosimilar to Stelara), Jubbonti (biosimilar to Amgen’s Prolia) and Wyost (biosimilar to Amgen’s Xgeva). Biosimilars now account for nearly one-third of the company's total revenues and remain Sandoz's primary growth driver.
Sandoz expects 2026 sales to grow at a mid- to high-single-digit rate, supported by recent product launches and continued expansion of its biosimilars portfolio. In March, the company expanded its partnership with Samsung Bioepis to develop up to five biosimilars, including a biosimilar version of Takeda's Entyvio (vedolizumab). The agreement further strengthens what management describes as an industry-leading biosimilars pipeline and positions the company to capitalize on a significant wave of upcoming biologic patent expirations.
In the past year, the stock has surged 51%. The consensus estimate for 2026 EPS has increased from $4.11 to $4.13 in the past 30 days.
Sandoz carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Teva: This Israel-based company is the world’s largest generic drug company, in terms of both total and new prescriptions. Teva enjoys a leading position in the United States, the world’s largest generic market, where it commands a share of more than 6%. The company regularly pursues FTF and first-to-market opportunities and seeks approval for complex generics, which are likely to face less competition.
The company has a growing biosimilars pipeline, with some products being developed in partnership with Alvotech. These include Simlandi and Selarsdi, the first two biosimilars launched in the United States under the Teva-Alvotech strategic partnership, which includes seven biosimilar candidates. The company expects its biosimilars business to generate $800 million in revenues by 2027.
The company is also benefiting from continued growth in its branded medicines portfolio, which includes Austedo, Ajovy and Uzedy. These products support Teva's ongoing transformation into a more diversified biopharmaceutical company.
The consensus estimate for 2026 EPS has declined from $2.50 to $2.39 in the past 30 days. The stock has surged nearly 100% in the past year. Teva currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Price & Consensus: TEVA

Viatris: It offers a broad mix of generics, including oral solids, injectables and topicals. The company's generic business delivered strong performance in North America during the first quarter of 2026, supported by increased demand for estradiol, continued momentum from Breyna (generic version of Symbicort) and contributions from recently launched complex generic products. Viatris also benefited from new product launches, such as iron sucrose and octreotide, and expects additional growth from the planned U.S. launch of generic Abilify Maintena later this year.
Viatris’ branded business, which comprises two-thirds of its portfolio, also performed well. Key products such as Creon and Amitiza, along with other established brands, continued to support revenue growth.
The stock has surged 88% in the past year. The consensus estimate for 2026 EPS has increased from $2.44 to $2.47 in the past 30 days. Viatris carries a Zacks Rank #3 at present.

3 Generic Drug Stocks to Watch as New Growth Drivers Emerge

(RTTNews) - Alvotech (ALVO), a biotechnology company, on Thursday announced the re-submission of the Biologics License Applications (BLAs) for biosimilars ATV05 and ATV06 to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
AVT05 is a biosimilar to biologic medicines Simponi and Simponi Aria (golimumab), which are tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers used to treat a number of chronic inflammatory conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, ulcerative colitis and polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
AVT06 is a biosimilar to Eylea (aflibercept) 2 mg, a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of several retinal diseases that may lead to vision loss or blindness, including neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema and retinal vein occlusion.
Both AVT05 and AVT06 were developed under a collaborative agreement between Alvotech and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA).
The re-submission follows the company's response to a post-application action letter (PAAL) from the FDA after the submission of the original BLA. The PAAL related to Alvotech's manufacturing facility in Reykjavik, and the company has since completed a good manufacturing practices (GMP) surveillance FDA inspection of the facility in May 2026.
The company expects the FDA to complete a six-month review of the applications, consistent with regulatory timelines.
ALVO closed Thursday at $32.83, down 0.76%. In the pre-market, shares are trading at $33, up 0.52%.
TEVA closed Thursday at $3.14, up 4.16%. In the pre-market, shares are trading at $3.08, down 1.91%.

Alvotech And Teva Resubmit BLAs To FDA For Biosimilars AVT05 And AVT06

AbbVie ABBV announced that the European Commission has approved Aquipta (atogepant) for the acute treatment of migraine in adults with or without aura, to be taken as needed.
This marks the second approved indication for Aquipta in migraine in the European Union. The drug is already approved in the EU as a once-daily CGRP receptor antagonist (gepant) for the prevention of migraine in adults with at least four migraine days per month.
The latest approval in the EU was based on data from the pivotal phase III ECLIPSE study, which evaluated the safety, efficacy and tolerability of Aquipta versus placebo for the acute treatment of migraine.
Data from the study showed that treatment with Aquipta led to statistically significant pain freedom compared with placebo at two hours following the first migraine attack. The treatment effect was sustained through 48 hours and remained clinically meaningful and consistent across multiple migraine attacks.
AbbVie markets atogepant under the trade name Qulipta in the United States and several other countries across the world.
ABBV’s Price Performance
Year to date, shares of AbbVie have lost 4.2% against the industry’s increase of 1.7%.

ABBV’s Neuroscience Franchise Aids Growth
AbbVie’s neuroscience portfolio is making a meaningful contribution to the company’s top-line growth. Revenues from its neuroscience portfolio increased 26% year over year to $2.88 billion in the first quarter of 2026.
The strong performance was driven by continued momentum for the depression drug Vraylar, migraine medicines Ubrelvy and Qulipta, Botox Therapeutic and Parkinson’s disease (PD) therapy Vyalev.
Importantly, AbbVie’s migraine portfolio maintained strong momentum in the first quarter. Ubrelvy sales rose 41% year over year to $339 million, while Qulipta generated $296 million in revenues, up 51%. Per management, Ubrelvy and Qulipta/Aquipta represent a combined $3 billion-plus peak sales opportunity. However, competition in the target market remains a concern.
Competition for ABBV in the Targeted Space
Qulipta/Aquipta faces competition from established CGRP-targeting therapies in the migraine market, including Teva Pharmaceutical’s TEVA Ajovy, Eli Lilly’s LLY Emgality and Pfizer’s PFE Nurtec ODT/Vydura.
While TEVA’s Ajovy and LLY’s Emgality are widely used preventive migraine treatments, PFE’s Nurtec ODT/Vydura is approved for both acute and preventive use in migraine in certain markets, potentially increasing competitive pressure.
Aquipta is also likely to face competition from other marketed migraine treatments as well as emerging therapies currently in development.
ABBV’s Zacks Rank
AbbVie currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

AbbVie Gets EU Nod for Aquipta as Acute Treatment for Migraine

Key Points
Thanks to its pivot from generic to branded drug products, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries has experienced a dramatic price rebound.
Even after surging 90% higher over the past year, Teva's comeback may have additional runway.
As the pivot persists, with Teva further reducing its once-massive debt load along the way, earnings could surge even higher, in turn driving another strong run for shares.
Consider Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE: TEVA) the "comeback kid" among pharmaceutical stocks. As recently as a few years ago, the Israel-based company was not just facing headwinds with its legacy generic drug business, but also contending with high debt and massive opioid-related litigation liabilities.
Now Teva strengthened its balance sheet and put litigation issues into the rearview mirror, while transforming from a low-margin generic drug maker into a developer of higher-margin branded pharmaceuticals.

Better yet, the pivot remains in motion. Around 50% of Teva's overall sales are in generics, but this figure continues to change. Don't assume that the stock's 100% jump over the past year is a one-and-done event. As the transformation continues, shares may be in for further earnings growth and price appreciation.
Teva and its spectacular comeback
In 2024, when generic drugs made up over 57% of Teva's overall sales, the company reported $16.5 billion in sales; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $4.8 billion; and non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings of $2.49 per share. A year later, generic drugs accounted for just half of Teva's overall sales, and the further increase in branded drug sales led to solid improvements in profitability.
While overall sales increased by just 5%, to $17.3 billion, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) increased by 12% and 19%, respectively, during 2025. Furthermore, Teva reported strong sales figures for its flagship branded drug, Austedo, a treatment for certain Huntington's disease symptoms, as well as for its two up-and-coming branded drug products, Uzedy, a treatment for schizophrenia, and Ajovy, a therapy for migraine prevention. Last year, their sales were up 34%, 63%, and 30%, respectively.
In its latest earnings report, Teva reported sales growth for Austedo, Uzedy, and Ajovy of 41%, 62%, and 35%, respectively, as well as reiterated revenue outlook for each of the three branded drugs. The company also continued to use its cash flow to pay down debt. Over the past four years, net debt has decreased by over $5.5 billion, from $18.4 billion as of Dec. 31, 2022, to $12.9 billion as of March 31, 2026.
Why this hot pharma stock may have more room to run
Don't expect things to slow down from here. If anything, Teva's transformation is gaining momentum. Analyst forecasts call for EPS to grow by around 30.8% during 2027. Earnings growth could stay elevated, even if Austedo, Ajovy, and Uzedy sales start to peak. Progress in bringing more of its pipeline candidates to market could help sustain organic growth.
Outside of organic growth, Teva has other avenues to improve earnings. A recent deal to acquire Emalex Biosciences for $700 million adds yet another potential blockbuster drug, ecopipam, to Teva's portfolio. Ecopipam is a Tourette syndrome treatment, and is close to the regulatory finishing line. Other efforts, such as further debt reduction, could also move the needle on Teva's continued high earnings growth.
Even if the stock merely maintains its current valuation of 14.7 times forward earnings, and shares rise in line with earnings growth, this could produce another strong run. As shares sit just a few dollars below multiyear highs, consider Teva one of the best pharmaceutical stocks to buy and hold.
