Trump Administration Picks 10 Drugmakers for New 340B Rebate Pilot
The Trump administration has selected 10 companies, including AbbVie, Amgen, Pfizer, and GSK, for a new pilot program that tests a rebate model for drugs purchased under a federal program benefiting uninsured and low-income patients. The 340B Rebate Model Pilot takes effect on January 1 and allows the selected manufacturers to verify and pay rebates for 21 discounted drugs purchased under the government's 340B drug pricing program, rather than offering savings upfront as under the current discount model. The participating drugmakers are AbbVie, Amgen, Astellas, AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers, GSK, Merck, Pfizer, and Teva. The Health Resources and Services Administration, the HHS unit overseeing the program, said the approach helps address compliance concerns proactively rather than relying primarily on retrospective reviews, audits, and dispute resolution processes. The pilot marks the Trump administration's second attempt to overhaul the decades-old drug discount program, after a federal judge blocked HRSA's first 340B rebate pilot following a case brought by hospital groups last year.

J&J Innovative Medicine Set for Q3 Growth Led by Oncology
Johnson & Johnson is scheduled to report its third-quarter 2026 results on Oct. 13, with investors focused on sales performance in its Innovative Medicine segment. The segment has posted five consecutive quarters of sales above $15 billion despite the loss of exclusivity of Stelara, and J&J expects continued above-market growth driven by Darzalex, Erleada, Carvykti, Tecvayli and Rybrevant/Lazcluze in oncology, Tremfya and other immunology products, and Spravato and Caplyta in neuroscience. Newer launches are expected to contribute more than in the second quarter, with Inlexzo sales more than doubling sequentially from around $30 million in the first quarter, while investors will watch for initial sales of the newly launched plaque psoriasis pill Icotyde and Imaavy, approved in the United States in August for a second indication, warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Stelara's loss of exclusivity cut the segment's growth by 760 basis points in the second quarter, and the negative impact is expected to be steeper in the third quarter, with biosimilar competition from Amgen, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries and Samsung Bioepis/Sandoz, along with declining Imbruvica sales and European biosimilars for Simponi and a U.S. generic version of Opsumit, weighing on results. Overall, Innovative Medicine is expected to have been J&J's principal growth engine in the quarter, with oncology providing the strongest contribution and Tremfya helping offset Stelara's biosimilar-driven decline.

Teva CEO Details Biopharma Pivot, $700M Savings Plan and Growth Pipeline
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries CEO Richard Francis said the company has shifted from being viewed primarily as a generics manufacturer toward a biopharmaceutical company with a growing innovative medicines portfolio, while maintaining and expanding its generics operations. Speaking with J.P. Morgan analyst Chris Schott, Francis said Teva's innovative business grew 40% in the second quarter, with innovative sales rising from about $1.2 billion at the end of 2022 to approximately $1 billion per quarter now, and the company expects mid-single-digit growth after 2026. He said gross margin has risen from 48% when he became CEO to about 55%, and Teva is targeting a 30% operating margin by 2027, supported by a cost-efficiency program expected to generate $700 million in savings after investment by the end of 2027. Francis highlighted a pipeline including duvakitug, anti-IL-15 programs, long-acting olanzapine, ecopipam for Tourette syndrome and UZEDY, and said Teva expects a product launch each year for the next five years, followed by launches roughly every 18 months. He reiterated confidence in more than $3 billion in peak annual sales for AUSTEDO, called AJOVY a potential billion-dollar brand, and estimated a $1.5 billion to $2 billion franchise opportunity for UZEDY and long-acting olanzapine, while noting Teva now has 15 biosimilars on the market and another 14 in its pipeline.
Teva Study Finds Providers Prioritize Drowsiness Risk When Choosing Tardive Dyskinesia Treatment for Older Patients
Teva Pharmaceuticals announced new data showing that healthcare providers prioritize drowsiness risk, the duration of available long-term response data and drug-drug interaction profile when selecting a VMAT2 inhibitor for tardive dyskinesia in patients aged 55 and older. In a discrete choice experiment, 489 healthcare providers ranked somnolence risk, accounting for 26.8% to 36.2% of decision-making weight, and short-term symptom improvement, at 24.4% to 29.5%, as their top priorities, followed by dose formulation at 16.7% to 20.2% and drug-drug interaction risk at 14.4% to 17.3%. Applying those preferences across four patient profiles, AUSTEDO, also known as deutetrabenazine, had the highest predicted choice probability, driven mainly by somnolence risk, duration of long-term response data and drug-drug interaction. The findings were presented at Psych Congress, held September 15 to 19, 2026, in New Orleans. A separate interim analysis from the IMPACT-TD Registry found that among patients with probable tardive dyskinesia who remained untreated with any VMAT2 inhibitor for 24 months, roughly 89% to 96% experienced at least a mild global impact and 60% to 74% experienced moderate-to-severe impact, while 55% to 69% reported stable or worsening severity with no evidence of spontaneous resolution.

Teva Reports New TEV-'749 Data Showing High Stabilization in Schizophrenia Trial
Teva Pharmaceuticals announced new post hoc data from the pivotal Phase 3 SOLARIS trial showing that its investigational once-monthly subcutaneous long-acting injectable olanzapine, TEV-'749, achieved high rates of stabilization and long-term efficacy in adults with schizophrenia. In the open-label long-term treatment period, 231 of 411 participants, or 56 percent, achieved stabilization, and among those 231 stabilized participants only 10, or 4 percent, relapsed. Among 183 participants treated with TEV-'749 for six or more months, 39, or 21 percent, met criteria for remission. Separate analyses simulating inpatient switching found that initiating TEV-'749 one day after the last dose of oral or short-acting intramuscular olanzapine produced predictable olanzapine exposures within established oral therapeutic ranges, and a metabolic outcomes analysis found TEV-'749's profile consistent with daily oral olanzapine with no clear dose-dependent pattern. The findings were presented at Psych Congress in New Orleans, and a PDUFA decision from the FDA is expected for TEV-'749 in the fourth quarter of 2026, while the European Medicines Agency accepted the Marketing Authorization Application in May 2026. TEV-'749 is not approved by any regulatory authority for any use at this time.

Teva Says Pivot to Growth Accelerating as Branded Drugs and Biosimilars Expand
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries said its "Pivot to Growth" strategy has entered its second phase, with management pointing to branded-medicine momentum, a stabilized generics business, an expanding biosimilars portfolio and a strengthened balance sheet. Speaking at a Morgan Stanley event, President and Chief Executive Officer Richard Francis said the strategy, launched in 2023, rests on four pillars: delivering on the growth engine, stepping up innovation, creating a generics powerhouse, and focusing the business and capital allocation. Francis said Teva has cut debt and secured investment-grade ratings from all three major agencies more than a year ahead of its projection, completed an oversubscribed refinancing in the prior week, and converted ADS shares into ordinary shares to broaden investor access. He reiterated confidence that AUSTEDO can eventually exceed $3 billion in sales, ahead of the prior $2.5 billion target, and said AJOVY is approaching the $1 billion threshold faster than expected, while UZEDY and long-acting olanzapine together represent a $1.5 billion to $2 billion opportunity. Teva has 11 biosimilars on the market and expects to add roughly nine more by the end of the decade, and Francis said the company is on track to exceed its $800 million biosimilars target for 2027 a year early. Chief Medical Officer Eric Hughes said the TL1A therapy duvakitug, developed with Sanofi for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, showed the highest phase 2 results reported for the class, and that ecopipam, a first-in-class D1 antagonist for Tourette's disease, received priority review with a potential launch in the first half of 2027.

Trump unveils drug-pricing deals with CSL, Astellas, and other biotechs
President Donald Trump introduced a new set of drug-pricing deals with global pharmaceutical companies and smaller biotechs on Monday, advancing efforts to cut healthcare costs for American consumers. Deals were signed with Astellas, BeOne Medicines, CSL, BridgeBio, Sun Pharmaceutical, and UCB SA, Trump said in an Oval Office event with executives, according to Reuters. These companies have offered drugs to state Medicaid programs at most-favored-nation prices, which Trump described as a tremendous discount that should bring down medical costs. Israel's Teva, which also attended, said it is still in discussions with the administration on a potential agreement. The number of drugs covered and the discounts remain unclear, as the White House did not release details and some companies described terms as private. The deals follow earlier agreements with 17 of the world's largest drugmakers, including Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Novo Nordisk, which agreed to cut prices for federal health programs and sell some medicines directly to patients through a Trump-branded website in return for tariff relief.

Alvotech's AVT80 BLA Accepted by FDA for Subcutaneous Entyvio Biosimilar
Alvotech announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has accepted for review its Biologics License Application for AVT80, a proposed interchangeable biosimilar to Entyvio (vedolizumab) for subcutaneous administration via prefilled syringe and autoinjector.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Market to Reach USD 21 Billion in 2025, Driven by Next-Generation Therapies
The inflammatory bowel disease market across the seven major markets was valued at USD 21 billion in 2025, with the United States accounting for the largest share. The total number of incident cases of inflammatory bowel disease in the seven major markets was around 181 million in 2025. Growth is being fueled by the rising prevalence of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, increased adoption of advanced biologic therapies, and the emergence of novel mechanisms of action targeting IL-23, TL1A, and S1P pathways. Key pipeline candidates include Abivax's ABX464, Merck's Tulisokibart, RedHill Biopharma's RHB-204, and Teva Pharmaceuticals and Sanofi's duvakitug, among others.

Teva Raises 2026 Revenue Guidance on 43% Growth in Key Innovative Drugs
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance, driven by a 43% year-over-year increase in combined revenue from its innovative medicines AUSTEDO, AJOVY, and UZEDY. The company lifted the midpoint of its overall 2026 revenue outlook by $75 million, while second-quarter revenue of approximately $4.1 billion declined 1% from a year earlier as lower sales from generic Revlimid were largely offset by growth in the innovative portfolio. AUSTEDO generated $676 million in U.S. revenue, up 33%, and its full-year guidance was raised to a range of $2.45 billion to $2.6 billion. UZEDY posted quarterly revenue of $77 million, up 43%, with its full-year forecast increased by $15 million at the midpoint to $270 million to $290 million, and AJOVY's global revenue rose 56% to $244 million, prompting a $90 million midpoint increase in its full-year outlook to $850 million to $870 million. Teva reported a GAAP net loss of $576 million, or $0.49 per share, including a $724 million in-process research and development expense from the Emalex Biosciences acquisition, while non-GAAP earnings per share were $0.02, or $0.63 excluding that impact. Free cash flow rose 31% to $622 million, and the company ended the quarter with net debt of $12.9 billion and a net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 2.8 times, or 2.3 times excluding the Emalex acquisition.

Ford, Teva, Manhattan Associates surge while Parsons plunges in Wednesday trading
Ford Motor, Teva Pharmaceutical, and Manhattan Associates were among the biggest stock gainers Wednesday, while Parsons led the losers after slashing its guidance. Ford shares rose 8% after the automaker beat Q2 revenue and adjusted EPS estimates and raised its full-year outlook, despite a net loss from one-time charges. Manhattan Associates jumped 25% on better-than-expected Q2 results and strong guidance, and Teva Pharmaceutical gained 10% after raising its 2026 innovative drug portfolio outlook. On the downside, Parsons tumbled 38% after cutting its FY2026 revenue and profit guidance, O-I Glass fell 19% on a Q2 earnings miss and lowered outlook, and Avis Budget Group slid 12% following a revenue and earnings miss.
Teva's duvakitug could drive another 50% surge as turnaround gains momentum
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries' shift from generic to branded drugs has driven an 85% share price surge over the past 12 months, and its pipeline candidate duvakitug could fuel another 50% rally. Branded drugs like Austedo, Ajovy, and Uzedy are growing sales at mid-double-digit rates, while generics now account for just over half of total revenue. Management expects 2026 earnings per share between $1.91 and $2.11, down from $2.65 in 2025 due to the dilutive impact of the Emalex Biosciences acquisition, but forecasts a 30% increase in operating profit and adjusted EBITDA starting next year. Duvakitug, co-developed with Sanofi for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, is entering phase 3 trials after promising phase 2b results, with peak annual sales projected at $2 billion to $5 billion. With the stock trading at less than 10 times estimated 2027 earnings, further progress on duvakitug could trigger another major rally.
US appeals court revives Teva lawsuit against Lilly over Forteo generic delay
A federal appeals court on Monday revived a lawsuit brought by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries against Eli Lilly over an agreement that allowed Teva to market a generic version of Lilly's osteoporosis drug Forteo. The two drugmakers brokered a settlement agreement in 2018 that allowed Teva to launch its generic teriparatide as early as 2019, but the US FDA eventually granted Forteo an additional three years of exclusivity in 2020. Teva began marketing its generic version in December 2023 and then sued Lilly in 2024, alleging that the extra exclusivity period delayed its generic marketing. The appellate court stated that the 2018 agreement does not clearly indicate whether or when the settlement agreement or relevant covenants expired, and those questions cannot be resolved in Lilly's favor based solely on the text of the agreement and the complaint.

Novartis vs. Teva: Which Pharmaceutical Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
The Motley Fool compares Novartis and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries as investment options for 2026, favoring Teva for long-term investors due to its lower valuation multiples. Novartis reported fiscal 2025 revenue of nearly $56.7 billion with net income of almost $14 billion, while Teva achieved revenue of nearly $17.3 billion and net income of $1.4 billion. Teva's first-quarter 2026 results exceeded expectations with revenue of almost $4 billion and net income of $369 million, driven by strong sales of Ajovy, Uzedy, and Austedo which grew more than 40% in local currencies. Novartis saw first-quarter volume rise 14% to $13.5 billion with net income of almost $3.2 billion, and its pipeline includes remibrutinib, a potential blockbuster for autoimmune disorders. Teva's forward price-to-earnings ratio of 17.0 and price-to-sales ratio of 2.9 are lower than Novartis's 17.6 and 5.3, respectively, making Teva more attractive on a valuation basis despite projected sales decline in 2026.

Eli Lilly and vs. Teva: Which Pharmaceutical Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
Eli Lilly and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries present contrasting investment cases for 2026, with Eli Lilly riding a GLP-1-driven growth surge and Teva offering a value-oriented recovery play. Eli Lilly’s fiscal 2025 revenue jumped 44% to nearly $65.2 billion, net income roughly doubled to $20.6 billion, and free cash flow reached close to $9 billion, while its debt-to-equity ratio stood at about 1.6x. Teva reported revenue of nearly $17.3 billion, a 4% increase, swung to a net income of approximately $1.4 billion, and generated free cash flow of roughly $1.2 billion, though its debt-to-equity ratio was approximately 2.2x. On valuation, Eli Lilly trades at a forward P/E of 33.1x and a P/S ratio of 15.2x, compared to Teva’s 16.4x forward P/E and 2.3x P/S ratio. Despite the premium, the analysis favors Eli Lilly due to continued momentum from weight-loss and diabetes drugs like Zepbound and Mounjaro, with 2026 revenue projected to reach $85.2 billion and net income near $31 billion, while Teva’s sales are expected to dip to $16.6 billion before pipeline drugs restore growth in 2027.

Jefferies Maintains Buy on Teva, Sees Pullback as Opportunity
Jefferies analyst Dennis Ding maintained a Buy rating and a $40 price target on Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, citing the recent share weakness as a buying opportunity. The decline was attributed to broader market factors and investor reactions to management comments on the vitiligo program, along with a clinical trial update shifting the expected primary completion date. After discussions with Teva's investor relations team, confidence in the vitiligo program remained unchanged, with data still expected shortly after the July 4 weekend. Separately, Teva announced real-world findings showing that its drugs AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR were associated with improvements in chorea symptoms and quality of life for Huntington's disease patients, with 74% of patients reporting improved movements after starting therapy.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries announced new clinical and real-world findings supporting Austedo and Austedo XR in tardive dyskinesia, alongside the European launch of its aflibercept biosimilar AHZANTIVE. Results from the IMPACT-TD study showed that patients with mild symptoms experienced improvements in involuntary movements and daily functioning after treatment, while updated data from the ongoing three-year RIM-TD study found more than half of participants achieved a treatment response by week 15, with additional patients benefiting from continued therapy. The company also expanded its international footprint through the rollout of AHZANTIVE across several countries including France, Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands, with further market entries planned later in the year. The biosimilar is approved for multiple retinal disorders and strengthens Teva's ophthalmology portfolio as part of its strategy to increase access to biologic medicines.
Teva Files FDA Application for First-in-Class Tourette Drug Ecopipam

The filing is supported by positive Phase 3 data published in JAMA Neurology and backed by Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations. If approved, ecopipam could become the first new FDA-approved treatment for pediatric Tourette syndrome in more than a decade, reinforcing Teva's push into higher-margin innovative neurology. However, the orphan-sized pediatric population and typical FDA review timeline mean the drug is unlikely to change Teva's near-term earnings picture on its own. Investors remain focused on execution of recent launches, generic price pressure, and cash generation amid a share price that has pulled back after a multi-year run.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries released new clinical data showing its Austedo and Austedo XR therapies improved symptoms in a majority of tardive dyskinesia and Huntington's disease chorea patients, reinforcing the drug's market position as the company's biggest growth driver. The three-year study presented at Psych Congress Elevate found over 50% of tardive dyskinesia patients saw symptom improvement within 15 weeks, with an additional 23% achieving success with long-term treatment, while 60% to 71% of Huntington's chorea patients experienced improvement. Teva's innovative brands—Austedo, Ajovy, and Uzedy—grew revenue 41% year over year in the first quarter of 2026, helping lift non-GAAP gross margin to 52.9% and EPS 72% to $0.31, even as total revenue edged up just 2% to $4 billion. However, full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $16.4 billion to $16.8 billion, implying flat to slightly negative growth, disappointed Wall Street and has weighed on the stock since the April 29 earnings release. The company also faces supply-chain risks from Middle East conflicts and generic competition eroding other portfolio segments, though its pipeline of six biosimilars awaiting regulatory decisions this year and the recent FDA approval of biosimilar Ponlimsi offer additional catalysts.
