Teva appears to be a company with strong revenue and acceptable gross profitability, but with a noticeable discount in earnings quality and balance sheet resilience. Revenue remains large and stable, and gross margin is holding around 52%, which is decent for pharmaceuticals and suggests pricing power in the portfolio. At the same time, operating margin and net profit margin are noticeably below industry benchmarks, and in the latest TTM net income and operating income have effectively dropped to zero, which weakens the quality of the current valuation. The multiples look mixed: P/S is below the industry median, but P/E, P/B, and P/FCF are materially higher, which usually indicates an expensive valuation relative to earnings, equity, and free cash flow. The debt burden remains elevated: debt/equity is significantly above the median, long-term debt is large, and current and quick ratios are below comfortable levels, so the financial profile cannot be called low-risk. The positive side is a solid amount of cash on hand and a meaningful level of shareholders’ equity, which partially offsets the debt pressure. ROE looks acceptable, but ROA and ROI are weak, and return on tangible equity remains at zero, indicating low efficiency in the use of assets and capital. Year-by-year trends show improvement in several balance sheet metrics and a reduction in debt, but operating profitability remains volatile and does not show a sustainable upward trend. Dividend yield is low and does not appear to be a sufficient factor to justify a higher valuation for the stock. Overall, the fundamentals support a moderately cautious view: the business is large-scale and does not look problematic at the revenue level, but earnings quality, liquidity, and leverage limit the potential for a meaningful increase in the target valuation. Therefore, the target forecast adjustment should be modest and downward, reflecting weaker profitability and expensive multiples amid continuing balance sheet risks.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

According to the company, TEV 408 demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful prevention of gluten-induced intestinal damage versus placebo at week 8, the study's primary endpoint, with a well-tolerated safety profile.
Results demonstrated favourable effects on biopsy-based measures of intestinal damage, with a least-squares mean change in villous height-to-crypt depth ratio of 0.45 and also reduced inflammation, as intraepithelial lymphocyte density increased by 27.60 in placebo versus 0.37 in TEV-408 participants, a treatment difference of -27.23.
TEVA closed Thursday's trade at $36.62, down 2.32%.
Novartis AG (NVS), a pharmaceutical company, has reportedly paused eight clinical trials evaluating rap-cel, a CD19 CAR-T cell therapy, following the deaths of three patients enrolled in the studies. The deaths may be attributed to a severe immune reaction leading to organ failure, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Wednesday's ETF with Unusual Volume: QEFA

(RTTNews) - Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA) announced positive topline results from its ongoing Phase 2a study of TEV-408, an investigational anti-IL-15 monoclonal antibody, in adults with celiac disease.
The study met its primary endpoint, showing statistically significant and clinically meaningful prevention of gluten-induced intestinal damage compared to placebo at Week 8.
Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten ingestion, leading to intestinal damage and symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue. While a strict gluten-free diet remains the only available management option, many patients continue to experience persistent symptoms and intestinal injury. TEV-408 is designed to target the IL-15 pathway, a key driver of immune-mediated intestinal damage, offering a potential therapeutic approach beyond dietary restriction.
In the trial, a single subcutaneous dose of TEV-408 was followed by a six-week gluten challenge. Results demonstrated favorable effects on biopsy-based measures of intestinal damage, with a least square mean change in villous height-to-crypt depth ratio of 0.45, 95% CI: (0.06, 0.84), p0.05).
TEV-408 also reduced inflammation, as intraepithelial lymphocyte density increased by 27.60 in placebo versus 0.37 in TEV-408 participants, a treatment difference of -27.23 (95% CI: -39.67, -14.79).
Patient-reported outcomes showed and lower gastrointestinal symptom scores compared to placebo. TEV-408 was well tolerated, with no emerging safety signals observed to date.
Eric Hughes, MD, PhD, Executive Vice President of Global R&D and Chief Medical Officer at Teva, stated that these findings underscore the potential to move beyond managing gluten exposure and address celiac disease at its biological source. He added that the results strengthen confidence in targeting IL-15 as a therapeutic pathway.
The company highlighted that TEV-408 also has potential applications in other immune-mediated conditions, including vitiligo, positioning it as a "pipeline-in-a-product" candidate. Teva will present further data at upcoming scientific meetings and host an investor call to discuss the results.
TEVA has traded between $18.21 and $38.37 over the past year. The stock closed Tuesday's trading at $36.19, up 0.39%. In pre-market trading the stock is at $36.48, up 0.77%.

In addition, the agreement would include a prospective Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) commitment for applicable future innovative product launches, the company said. "Teva appreciates the opportunity to work with President Trump and his Administration to expand access and affordability for patients today while enabling continued investment in medicines patients need tomorrow," said Chris Fox, President, Teva USA.

Teva Pharma In Talks With Trump Administration On Medicaid Drug Pricing Initiative

Both Neurocrine Biosciences NBIX and Teva Pharmaceuticals TEVA operate in the pharmaceutical sector, focusing on specialty medicines and treatments for serious health conditions.
NBIX focuses on neuroscience, with growth primarily led by its flagship drug Ingrezza. In contrast, TEVA operates as a global pharmaceutical giant that develops, manufactures and markets both branded and generic/biosimilar drugs.
But which one makes for a better investment pick today? Let's examine the fundamentals of the two stocks to make a prudent choice.
The Case for NBIX
This San Diego-based company’s commercial portfolio currently includes three first-in-class therapies. Neurocrine’s top-line growth is benefiting from strong uptake of Ingrezza, the blockbuster VMAT2 inhibitor approved for two indications — tardive dyskinesia (TD) and chorea associated with Huntington's disease (HD). The drug remains the company’s primary revenue driver and a key pillar of its growth story.
Ingrezza sales rose 17% year over year to $1.4 billion in the first half of 2026, supported by record new prescriptions and double-digit total volume growth. The strong performance prompted management to raise its full-year 2026 Ingrezza sales guidance to $2.83-$2.88 billion from $2.7-$2.8 billion. The midpoint implies approximately 13% year-over-year growth, indicating that Neurocrine expects the drug's commercial momentum to remain solid through the remainder of the year.
The company is also diversifying its revenue base beyond Ingrezza. Crenessity, launched in December 2024 for classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), is emerging as a meaningful second growth driver. The drug generated $337 million in sales in the first half of 2026, up about 400% year over year and already exceeding its full-year 2025 sales of $301 million.
The company further expanded its rare-disease portfolio through the $2.9 billion acquisition of Soleno Therapeutics, completed in May 2026. The acquisition added Vykat XR, which is approved to treat hyperphagia in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Following the acquisition, Neurocrine recorded $54 million from the drug’s sales in the second quarter of 2026.
Beyond its marketed products, Neurocrine has a broad pipeline. Its late-stage pipeline includes phase III programs for osavampator in major depressive disorder and direclidine in schizophrenia. The company also has several earlier-stage programs targeting areas including obesity, classic CAH and movement disorders. NBIX expects around 10 clinical study readouts next year.
However, Ingrezza remains a major source of revenues, leaving Neurocrine exposed to competitive pressures. Teva's Austedo and Austedo XR compete directly with Ingrezza in TD and HD chorea. In addition, pricing pressure could increase as a lower negotiated Medicare price for Austedo takes effect in 2027.
Neurocrine is also facing execution risks with Vykat XR, which remains in the early stages of commercialization. Post-marketing serious adverse events have been reported to the FDA, although such reports do not establish that the drug caused the events. NBIX acknowledges that adverse-event or safety concerns could affect market acceptance, prompt regulatory scrutiny or increase treatment discontinuations.
The Case for TEVA
The Israel-based company is one of the world’s largest generic drugmakers in terms of both total and new prescriptions. It enjoys a leading position in the United States, where it commands a share of more than 6% of total U.S. generic prescriptions.
Teva is gradually moving from predominantly traditional small-molecule generic manufacturer to a more diversified player in complex generics and biosimilars. In the past few quarters, the company has launched several successful biosimilars and other high-value complex generics. These include Truxima (biosimilar to Roche’s Rituxan), Simlandi (biosimilar to AbbVie’s Humira), Selarsdi (biosimilar to J&J’s Stelara), Epysqli (biosimilar to AstraZeneca’s Soliris) and Novo Nordisk’s Victoza.
Teva also maintains a diversified portfolio of higher-margin branded and innovative medicines, which are transforming its portfolio mix and financial profile. Its newer products — Austedo, Ajovy (preventive treatment of migraine) and Uzedy (schizophrenia) — are gaining market share and delivering strong top-line growth.
Austedo remains the largest contributor to the franchise, with global sales rising 40% year over year to $696 million in the second quarter. Teva expects Austedo revenues of $2.45-$2.60 billion in 2026. The Austedo franchise got a boost from the launch of Austedo XR, a new once-daily formulation of Austedo. Teva expects Austedo revenues to exceed $3 billion by 2030.
Ajovy is also delivering strong growth, with global revenues increasing 56% year over year to $244 million in the second quarter. Teva expects Ajovy sales of $850-$870 million in 2026 and estimates peak global sales potential of approximately $1 billion. Meanwhile, Uzedy revenues increased 43% to $77 million in the second quarter, with full-year 2026 sales expected to reach $270-$290 million.
However, Teva’s generics business faces a revenue cliff for lenalidomide capsules (the generic version of Bristol-Myers’ Revlimid), due to increased competition in the United States. Global generics revenues are expected to be flat to down in the low single digits in local currency in 2026, excluding the impact of generic Revlimid and the Japan business divestment. This outlook reflects fewer high-value launches, lower seasonal demand for OTC products and increased competition in some markets. The generic market is also highly crowded, as Teva competes with players like Dr. Reddy’s RDY, Viatris and Sandoz, among others.
The company also faces competitive pressure for some of its key branded drugs. Austedo competes with Ingrezza, while Ajovy faces competition from other CGRP-targeting therapies, including Amgen's Aimovig and Eli Lilly's LLY Emgality.
In addition, Teva has a high debt load – the company’s consolidated debt (short- plus long-term) was approximately $16.6 billion at the end of June 2026.

NBIX or TEVA: Which Is a Better Pick?
Both Neurocrine and Teva offer investors exposure to growing neuroscience markets and both have important commercial products that could support future growth. However, NBIX appears to be the better pick at present.
Neurocrine offers a stronger near-term growth trajectory, supported by continued Ingrezza momentum, the rapid growth of Crenessity and the addition of Vykat XR. The company also has a broader pipeline, with multiple potential clinical readouts expected in 2027, providing several catalysts that could support the stock’s performance.
In comparison, Teva’s innovative medicines, particularly Austedo, Ajovy and Uzedy, are delivering strong growth. However, weakness in its generics business remains a near-term headwind, while the company’s high debt load adds to its financial risk. These factors could limit the upside potential of the stock despite the strength of its newer branded medicines.
NBIX carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), while TEVA has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). This further reinforces NBIX’s more favorable standing in the current investment landscape.

NBIX vs. TEVA: Which Drugmaker Is the Better Investment?

Neurocrine Biosciences NBIX delivered a better-than-expected second quarter, with revenues and adjusted earnings per share topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company also raised its 2026 Ingrezza sales outlook, reinforcing the role of its flagship therapy in near-term growth.
The next test is whether prescription momentum, Crenessity's launch and Vykat XR can keep widening the revenue base as research and commercial spending rises. That balance matters because Ingrezza remains Neurocrine's main revenue engine even as newer products broaden the portfolio.
NBIX Delivers a Strong Q2 Beat
Second-quarter revenues increased 39% year over year to $959 million, above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $901.5 million. Adjusted earnings of $2.85 per share rose 73% and beat the consensus estimate of $2.26.
The beat was broad-based. Ingrezza sales reached $716 million versus the $628.6 million consensus mark, while Crenessity generated $184 million compared with the $170.8 million estimate. Vykat XR added $54 million from May 18 through quarter-end, giving Neurocrine contributions from all three marketed therapies.
Neurocrine Raises the Bar for Ingrezza
Ingrezza sales increased 15% in the second quarter and 17% in the first half of 2026 to $1.4 billion. Neurocrine cited double-digit prescription volume growth, record new prescriptions and continued access covering about 70% of Medicare lives.
Management raised 2026 Ingrezza net product sales guidance to $2.825-$2.875 billion from $2.7-$2.8 billion, implying roughly 13% growth at the midpoint. Neurocrine estimates that tardive dyskinesia affects about 800,000 U.S. patients, with roughly 10% receiving a VMAT2 inhibitor. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. TEVA markets competing Austedo and Austedo XR in tardive dyskinesia and Huntington's disease chorea.
Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
NBIX Adds Rare-Disease Growth Engines
Crenessity generated $337 million in first-half 2026 sales, up about 400% year over year and already above its $301 million total for 2025. About 15% of the estimated diagnosed classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia population has been prescribed the drug, and its prescriber base has nearly tripled.
Vykat XR contributed $54 million in reported second-quarter sales after the Soleno acquisition closed in May, while unaudited pro forma full-quarter sales were $94 million. Neurocrine expects launch-related discontinuations to largely work through during the third quarter and anticipates sequential sales growth beginning in the fourth quarter.
Neurocrine Is Spending More To Scale
Adjusted research and development expenses rose 24% to $276.1 million, reflecting investment across a broader development portfolio. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses increased 20% to $304.9 million as Neurocrine expanded commercial support for Ingrezza, Crenessity and Vykat XR.
The company also raised 2026 adjusted research and development guidance to $1.14-$1.19 billion and selling, general and administrative guidance to $1.325-$1.35 billion. Bristol Myers Squibb BMY already markets Cobenfy for adults with schizophrenia, a market relevant to Neurocrine's phase III direclidine program and its expanding research investment.
NBIX Signals Temper Q2 Optimism
The second-quarter beat, higher Ingrezza guidance and growing rare-disease portfolio support the revenue story, but higher operating investment and execution risks keep the outlook balanced. Vykat XR retention, Ingrezza pricing exposure and pipeline delivery remain important variables as Neurocrine scales.
NBIX currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), which is less favorable than the #1 and 2 (Buy) ranks that Zacks Style Scores are designed to complement most effectively. Its Growth Score of A and VGM Score of A indicate favorable growth and blended style characteristics, while its Value Score of B is also constructive. The Momentum Score of D points to weaker momentum characteristics, tempering the otherwise favorable Style Score mix.
